2010 Art Show is Great!!
By B.]. Garrison, Art Instructor
This was the 30th Art Show since I sat foot on
Norwalk Middle School ground in January of 1980. We
had three artists-of-the-year out of 350 students.
Now, we have over 600 art students in 6-8 Visual Arts
Classes. The talent just keeps getting better and better
from those students who put in the time and effort it
takes to do outstanding work. A positive work ethic,
talent, patience and perfecting skills does make a huge
difference in the adult we become later on in life.
The three (6-8) classes have learned how to think
outside the box extremely well mastering many skills
by the time they come out of eighth grade - being on
time, using time in class to the fullest of their potential,
using a variety of materials and the tools that are used
in the real world of Art, studying careers in Art, work-
ing cooperativel reading and comprehension on vo-
cabulary and famous artists' bibliographies, learning to
measure accurately to change the proportion of objects,
problem solving skills and clean-up skills which still
need work, but they are improving.
Also students learn research skills in our libraries and
computers to find uncopywritten photos to use in paint-
ings and sculpturing, as well as a morgue of visual im-
ages to use for ideas in our work.
"Thank you all for having the maturity to know you
do make a difference in your attitude - what you do and
what you say! Respect of people and property is the key
to their success or their failures - the choice is clearly
theirs!"
