Welcome back PHS and PMS artists!!!


Students have been studying color theory and the importance of VALUE in artwork. Middle School students are working in oil pastels with glue art and 3D drawing, as well as creating monochromatic tempera paintings. High School artists are working on fragmented Cubism while learning about Pablo Picasso. Art 1 students are using blenders and different values of pencil to create their art; Advanced Art and Studio Art artists are currently using oil paint. Everyone is off to a great start and I look forward to posting their creations soon:)
