The art students have been working SO hard to complete projects this semester! And their hard work shows! Beyond art, your students are learning to persevere through difficult tasks! Some of their final reflection said things like, “I grew in confidence”, “I was challenged”, “I have goals to grow even more”. These things are exciting to hear. I wasn’t easy everyday, but it was worth it!! Enjoy some portraiture from photography students, finals from ceramics and a watercolor landscape from drawing/painting students :)

It was an exhaustingly fun day for several Jeff west seniors! First up was the Nelson Atkins Museum, then lunch in Rozelle Court and to wrap up the day we headed to Union Station to see the traveling Brictionary exhibit!! The students agreed that it was the perfect way to end the field trip, with a little bit of play! They even got a chance to make their mark on an in-progress work of art!

Everybody is ready for winter break and as the stress of the semester ending comes to a head, it’s a good thing to see the kids excel outside the class! Got to watch some JW wrestling yesterday and some basketball this evening, all the kids worked hard! Final art projects coming soon, stay tuned!!

The drawing class is finishing finishing up stylized self-portraits! This is the first time that many students had to think about lighting, shadows, and skin tones. I think they did a great job!

This sculpture introduction assignment is always so fun!! I love how these end up looking like a playground design. Some days it’s good to remember that our big kids still need some play! We used female artist Katarzyna Kobro as our inspiration. All of them turned out just fab!🙂

It was a fun and fast paced day for several Jeff West student as we attended Washburn art Day! And I got a chance to get to know our wonderful students a bit better. Teagan hazelton received an honorable mention in the ceramic/sculpture category!! Jeff west alumni Kyra Miller was the guest speaker for the event and all of our students were very impressed with her art and her post college success!

Spooky things going on in the art room this October. photography practices double exposure for a ghostly effect. All classes got a chance to paint faces on Halloween. The ceramics class tested their mugs with hot apple cider, there have been dress up days and birthdays and still creativity is taking place! 🍂🎃

Oh wow! This is quite a big photo dump! But please look through! The art room has been “active” to say the least. We have been volunteering and creating and growing and bonding! And I am so happy to be a part of your children’s lives. You have raised kids who put in the work to better themselves and they are sharing these experiences in the art room. Posted below are photos from face painting at the school carnival, photos from photography, activities in class, zombies in the zombie fun run, exchange student works, drawing with charcoal, and homecoming fun!! Be sure to comment of your favorite photos ❤️🖤

It was a productive week in the art room! And I am SO thankful to teach such multi-talented students! Our Jeff West kids do it all! They excel in academics, work hard on the court and the field, and challenge their minds through growing in artistry!! It is my firm belief that the arts help round our kids out by exercising critical thinking, determination, self-expression, and… deepens their understanding of the world around them! Please continue to support our art program!! (And share this page 🙂) Go tigers!
