It has been a busy two weeks in the WHS art department. Student teacher Mr. Johnson has rejoined us and has started a lesson on Styles in Art. Students will be working on final portraits along with several other projects including clay. Students will learn about cubism, expressionism, pop art and the contemporary work of artist Chuck Close.

Students are getting ready for the new format for the High School Art Exhibit! The show will feature open studios, awards, and a hands on creative art activity for the whole school. ARTISTS TRADING CARDS!
