  • Community Art Project in Progress in Library

    Middle School art teacher Julia Sapir shared photos of and an invitation to contribute to a community art project being created in the library. The project is a Zentangle badger and students and staff can choose a section to fill in Zentangle style. A Zentangle is "an easy-to-learn, relaxing art form where you draw structured, repetitive patterns called tangles to create detailed abstract designs." For this badger project, which was designed by Julia, artists are asked to use a black Sharpie only, to work neatly, and to complete only one defined section (nothing in the background) so that plenty of artists can contribute. Let's get that badger filled in - thanks, Julia!!
  • Spotlight on 2D Art Students

    Students in Amanda Nelsen's 2D art classes have already created some stunning work. They began by designing the covers for their own sketchbooks, then stitching pages and covers together to create the completed sketchbook they will use this year. Students created colorful zines, 2-page magazine-like spreads, with one page illustrating their name and the other a phrase or idea they wanted to share. Students also gave meaning to text by creating 2-D visual depictions of a word. Check out examples of each completed project.
