This year students in 3rd, 4th and 5th grades had the opportunity to apply for Art Club. Other clubs available are Chorus, Athletics, Drama, and Whiz Kids Math. In Art Club, students are creating printing plates that they will ink to make an image. In order for an image to show in a print, the image area must be somehow raised away from the plate area. For this project students are using glue to 'draw' the art. When the glue dries it will create a raised edge that will grab when the plate is inked with paint. Stay tuned to see the finished pieces! Art Smart words: Relief Printing, Printing Plate, Texture

About Me
- Meche Farah
- Michelle "Meche" Farah; I have a BFA in Painting and Illustration and Art History Minor from The Savannah College of Art and Design. Before I discovered a love to teach, I worked in interior design, and film production. My teaching certification is from Jacksonville University. This is my 13th year as a teacher and 4th year at Fort Caroline Middle. I teach Art History and sculpture. I am a professional decorative painting artist and a former board member of NeFAEA- Northeast Florida Art Educators Association. I am an active FAEA- Florida Art Education member and attend state conference every year. I have also attended nationals conference several times. My FAVORITE project is "Recycle-Transformation" which simply means going green and making old items new and appreciated. Our FUTURE is in our hands, I include recycled materials in student projects. In my art program students practice the disciplines of art history, art production, art aesthetics, and art criticism. It is not only important to make and learn about art but how to discuss it and bring value and meaning to it. Thanks for viewing our art blog, we are glad you stopped by!
