Art Appreciation: where we cram centuries of Art History into one wild semester… and still find time to make some seriously cool art. 🖌️

Our talented 8th graders are showcasing their stunning Art Nouveau portraits—featuring intricate organized patterns brought to life with shimmering gold and silver scratch art.
🌀 Drawing 1 students will tell you - it all begins with a single circle…
and unfolds like a visual journey—each stroke adding depth, each detail revealing growth. Congratulations! Now it's time for descriptive value modeling.
My Drawing 1 students have recently experimented with Prismacolor pencil layering and blending techniques. Here are some lovely results of that color study.

Take a peek into our creative space where students are diving into descriptive value modeling through still life studies.

Today, a group of students got the opportunity to experience "A Day in the Trades - From blueprint to built!"
We toured a kitchen and bath remodeling company (and made our own tiles), 3 houses being built, and a home improvement store/warehouse. Thanks to JDS Construction and all the other organizations that created this event and invited Dupo to participate!

We had a blast at the Metro East Construction Expo today! Students were able to speak to a variety of tradesmen and women about their careers and try out job skills for themselves... real AND virtually!
