Caricature Portfolios!
Students learned the process of creating caricatures and practiced their new skill by drawing other people first. They drew Beyonce, Mayer Hawthorne, another peer, and Ms. Krieger before they drew themselves as a caricature. Their portfolios consist of a caricature self portrait made with black marker. Everyone did a great job! Want to see more? Visit Artsonia.com to see everyone's caricatures!

First Day Mystery Drawing
On the first day of class every student was handed a small square of paper that had strange lines on the paper. While the rules and expectations were explained students were encouraged to color the square using markers, crayons, or colored pencils. The students were informed that when all the squares are put together they create one giant image. The giant image is of Van Gogh's Starry Night. Although some pieces were lost along the way the giant images turned out great and really shows the individuality of all classes! Great Job!

Welcome to Room 234!
Hello! Welcome! Thank you for visiting Room 234's blogspot!
In this blog you will be able to follow along in the artistic process of the 8th grade art students for the semester. The home page will be used to show different student examples of the project that we are currently working on in class along with descriptions of the project itself.

2. Familiarize yourself with "Artsonia" page
3. Check to see if there is anything due in the art room under the "What's New and Due?" page
4. See if there is anything you or your family can donate to the art room under, "I Can Get Rid of That?!" page
5. Click around on the "ARTastic Links" to see some of the fantastic art sites the World Wide Web has to offer!
6. Get a laugh and check out the "Rm. 234 is Artfully Funny" page
7. Forget which artist we talked about on Mystery Monday? Want to show a friend or family member the cool new artist you just learned about? Then visit the "Mystery Monday" page to view all the artists we have talked about.
