This colorful display highlights the creativity and artistic growth of students at Pleasants County Middle School in Ms. Binegar’s art classes. The landscape paintings at the top were created by 8th grade students and are inspired by the bold, simplified style of Canadian artist Ted Harrison. Students used oil pastels and liquid watercolor to create vibrant landscapes featuring rolling hills, rivers, sunsets, and mountains. By outlining shapes with oil pastel and applying watercolor washes, students explored color contrast, movement, and expressive landscape composition, capturing the bright and dynamic feel that Harrison is known for. Displayed below are 7th grade Pop Art projects, inspired by the playful and graphic style of Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. Students designed bold, recognizable objects—such as doughnuts, pizza, popcorn, gumball machines, and candy—using acrylic paint and paint pens to create strong outlines and bright, eye-catching colors. Together, these projects showcase students’ exploration of different artistic styles, materials, and techniques, while filling the hallway with energy, color, and creativity.

PCMS 3rd 9 Weeks Grades were distributed today.

A big thank you to our teachers for creating meaningful opportunities that connect learning beyond the classroom! 👏
