Congratulations to our 8th grade artists of the week!

Tori D., Jonah K., Bryson S. and Hannah H. impressed us with their incredible grid drawings! For this project, students selected a reference image of their choice, created a 1x1 grid on it, and then used the grid drawing method to enlarge their image to four times the original size. By carefully following each square, they developed strong observation skills.
