Variety Show and Art Exhibit a Success!

Thank you to all who came to support the arts. Our annual variety show and art exhibit went very well. Here are a few photos of the 7th graders art that was showcased. 

Theme: Abstract Art (inspired by abstract artists Kandinsky and Mondrian)

In the 20^th century, artists sought a new way to express themselves... without words, without objects, without boundaries. Abstract art is like visual poetry. Instead of words and sentences, abstract artwork uses color, shape, line, form, pattern and texture to create a visual dance of the spirit. 

Please enjoy our creative display of abstract work from the JCJHS 7^th graders. You will find these amazing art pieces around the lobby area. 

Orange and Cobalt: Abstract Mural Paintings

Red and Green: Abstract Circle Paintings

Gray and Silver:  Abstract Masking Tape Paintings

Purple and Yellow: Abstract Circle Paintings

Some final pieces...

Picasso Faces

Students learn to apply the element of line to art and create an abstract drawing by designing faces/heads/characters that are inspired by Pablo Picasso. Here are a few images that show the start of their process.
