6th Grade Art wrapped up their Jason Naylor inspired heart clay sculptures just in time for Valentine’s Day, showcasing their incredible creativity and teamwork! Students learned about this renowned graffiti artist and his powerful message of creating an open heart, understanding that love comes in many forms and that together, we can overcome any obstacle. ❤️ Students crafted their sculptures using air dry clay, scoring and slipping the pieces together to form a single, unified piece, with some requiring hot glue for added stability. Then, they brought their creations to life with vibrant neon paint, emulating Naylor's signature style through intricate patterns. Finally, they mastered the technique of hydro-dipping, infusing their sculptures with a dazzling golden sparkle.

Our classes even got to do a few repair projects for staff. Sewing exercises control, promotes teamwork, and builds problem-solving skills.
Pose with your project like it's a trophy fish! 😁 7th grade FACS students finished their sewing project today and wanted to show off their chapstick holders.
Seventh and eighth graders in Mr. Campmier’s Communications class held a silent “snowball” writing activity. Each student wrote one sentence on a sheet of paper, crumpled it up, and tossed it across the room to a classmate. The next student added to the story before tossing it again, building a story one sentence at a time.
