Visit our Liberty cafeteria to see our latest art project focused on the principle of Unity. Students created collages using various papers and subjects. To unify their designs, they applied a range of values using colored pencils, markers, graphite, ink, and paint, switching mediums wherever their subject intersected a new paper. These projects turned out amazing! Our students are currently developing portraits of a selected person, focusing on at least five distinct values and complex color mixtures. This will be their final project and we are excited to see what they come up with. Thank you to our art teachers, Mr. Rocker and Mrs. Meagher, for their dedication and support. Its been so amazing to see all the projects and new skills our students have learned.
