Drawing With The Artists

Today the students got started with the artwork for the Vettetastic Corvette. Kristina, Jorge, Sarah, Megan, Victor, Nathan, Henry, Yuka, and Ainsley drew in the artwork for each side of the corvette and the stand. A few of them actually got to start painting. The corvette is starting to look very nice. They are each doing a good job working on the different sections. At the end Jorge started asking me questions about the artists. I told him who each artist was for the different sections of the corvette. Seeing the students get into the artwork and want to find out more about the artists is a great way to learn. There is an excitement that both the student and teacher share in passing on knowledge, not just verbally but visually as well.

Let the Sanding and Priming begin!

DCMS Students, Jorge, Victor, Henry and Joey assisted Mr. Clark (art student Teacher) in the sanding and priming of the car.

WE GOT A VETTE!

Excitement was high at Drakes Creek Middle School when the Corvette model and Base arrived at our school! Everyone has been stopping by the art room to see the model. Seems everyone is curious about how it feels, what it is made out of, what the design will be and of course who will get to paint the design. The model is smooth and white, made out of fiberglass, and heavier than we imagined. The designs were submitted and approved by the Red Cross months ago. They include art by artists such as, Mondrian, Monet, Davinci, Van Gogh, Munch, Warhol, and Matisse. Believe me this car will bring out the art appreciation in you and make you Smile. As for who will get to paint the design on the car....keep watching this blog! Mrs. Soule
