30 day drawing challenge for the summer

5/31/2014

CALLING all FBCS students -- former students -- teachers
It's a 30 day drawing challenge for the summer.

For the next 30 days, create art once a day. Whether it's sketching, drawing, painting...whatever, follow each day's challenge and see what happens. That's it! At the end of the challenge, you should be able to look back on 30 pieces of works that speak about your life. Hopefully you will feel better about yourself as an artist and what you've accomplished.

NOTE:
It doesn't have to be a masterpiece.
Start today, start tomorrow -- the goal is 30 drawings over the summer.
It doesn't have to be on art paper. It can be in a notebook.
This is for fun!
So easy and I think it's going to be a blast!

Feel free to share your artwork on my FaceBook page :)

Artist Joe Castillo uses sand on a lighted table to create beautiful images that tell a story. You may have seen his work on America's Got Talent. This week FBCS art students enjoyed watching his video called Creation. In this presentation, Mr. Castillo creates mankind's encounter with the Creator to the sound track from "The Rhythm of Creation".

Below is a link to his website:

FBCS has been very busy over the past few weeks! We had Night of the Arts. The artwork and the talent show was fabulous --- I am so proud of our students! We had spirit week. Each day students dressed up. I saw favorite sports teams, tacky tourist, school colors and more. On Friday night we held the 8th grade graduation. Former student, Keandra Bell and Valedictorian Hannah Sarver shared beautiful speeches. Congratulations to all our graduates!

In addition, I have been sorting art work, bagging it up, and sending it home. One parent shared how her daughter invited the family to gather in the living room while she unveiled her artwork one piece at a time. I love it! Hope you enjoy the photos below.

No password is required, and no special plugins are required. Just click on the link, type in your name, and start drawing and chatting with your friends.

Here's a photo of my first drawing....
