Journals: Continuing to use your imagination and creativity |
Specialties in Junior High Art |
Every week students in Junior High will be required to complete a journal. Students are required to bring a sketchbook, pencil and their IMAGINATION to use each week on this journal. Students will be able to draw, write and/or brainstorm about this weekly topic. I am looking for students to think outside of the box, show me a sense of self in their work, and provide lots of detail and thought!

Art in Junior High includes more responsibilities but also a chance at enjoying more freedoms, as if they were working in their very own art studio! Students in Junior High are allowed free choice seating if they are able to show me they can follow class rules, expectations and procedures. New this year is also an option for flex seating, a table who earns VIP privileges will be able to enjoy creating art while in the comfort of a bean bag chair. Students also accumulate points each day which add up to free art days, giving them an opportunity to use a variety of materials to create anything that comes to mind!
