Name Sculptures

5th grade made 3D name sculptures.  They designed each letter on tag board from their name and chose a different pattern for each letter to create Rhythm.  They colored each letter and created a circular base on which to assemble the pieces.  The base was colored using patterns to compliment the letters.  Students had to think about the best way to stabilize the pieces as they  attached them to the base.  They made paper L-brackets and glued them into place.  Looks like we have some future architects in the making!

About Me

My photo
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!
