It's been a while! I am new to this blogging business, and we have been crazy busy over here in MS. The Grade 7's are wrapping up their What is Art? unit I wrote about in the last post. Our first studio component illustrated the concept that "Art follows tradition." We created studies in photorealism that were very labor-intensive. I like to include a technique/skills-based component, and this wasn't particularly time-consuming since we focused on simply the objects and left out a background entirely. Then we started our second studio component, Guerrilla Art. We started by going on a field trip to Sheung Wan, to explore some local street art and even make a little bit of guerrilla art of our own. We got to visit Bibo Restaurant, which boasts an incredible collection of works from street artists like Shepard Fairey, Banksy, Space Invader, and more.
