The Teen Arts Festival is in the books for 2016! The annual event is held every year at Union County College and welcomes middle school and high school students from the union county area. 75 OAS 7th and 8th grade students represented the school in various disciplines including fine arts, creative writing, orchestra, and chorus. Throughout the day, students have the opportunity to attend workshops to learn more about different types of arts. Below are pictures of the artwork that was represented at the event. Congratulations to Zoe T. and Charlotte M. for being selected for the county tour!
In this lesson, students were introduced to the drawing techniques, as created botanical letters. Students focused on the elements of art and principles of design including, pattern, lines, and shapes as they draw the letter of their first or last name and create beautiful works of art.
In this lesson, students used their imagination to create a map of an island that represents their identity. Students put anything on the island as long as it is related to themselves, including personality traits, interests, and hobbies. Students also included a key and a compass to help further explain their symbols. Once the students completed their artwork, they wrote an artist statement describing their artwork.
Throughout this lesson, students discussed different ways they identify themselves and created a piece of artwork that express who they are. Students created artworks that include the elements of arts and principles of design, specifically color, line, balance, variety, and unity.
