Darby Junior High Art

8th grade Manga self portraits are going up on the fridge! Can't wait to fill up the walls with all or our art!

We are finishing up with digital mosaics this week! These 2 mosaics were done by 8th grade students Noah and Hannah! Amazing work!

Just a few of our most recent paintings! 7th grade made artwork inspired by Alma Thomas and 8th & 9th made art inspired by David Driskell!

Art 1 progress photos of their murals!

A few weeks ago we started learning about murals and thankfully we have one right across the street! We were able to go see Okuda's work up close! The Unexpected

The Longest Line! The students drew one long continuous line. Then they created shapes over top and colored in each shape using a different color scheme!

4 talented ninth graders recently entered the River Valley Art Competition with these amazing works of art.

8th graders learned about the Huichol Indians and created yarn paintings that incorporated symbols that were important to them. Each image is created completely out of different colors and textures of yarn. I'm so impressed with how they turned out!!

9th graders are just finishing their acetate portraits in acrylic and mounted them on a watercolor background. They turned out so well!!
