VALUE, TINT and SHADE

4th and 5th grade are using a variety of mediums and techniques to achieve VALUE.  Value is the lightness and darkness of one color, or it can be achieved through hatching, crosshatching and stippling techniques.  Students are moving well through the exercises.  Practice and repetition are helping them remember concepts and applications. The final piece of the value unit will be an art piece to honor American artist, Wayne Thiebaud.  Thiebaud was famous for his paintings of food and confectionery images.  Students will apply tints and shades to create delicious works of art.  Stay tuned for photos.  Art Smart words: Value, Tint, Shade, Hatching, Crosshatching, Stippling, Composition, light source, shape, and form.

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!
