Grade 8 Art class is working on Pablo Picasso inspired cubist portraits. Students started off by viewing famous Cubist portraits and having a discussion about the lines, shapes, color and stylization. They then discussed the strange fracturing of the face, the mixed up angles, bright colors and the bold black lines. Students are enjoying painting and creating their own mixed up cubist portraits.
Last week the PCMS Communities in Schools Coordinator Casey Maston organized a CIS Tier 1 Club Day for students. Different clubs included 3-on-3 basketball, cooking, American Sign Language, hunting & fishing, assorted crafts and games, gardening, etc. Students and staff alike raved about the event, the knowledge that was gained, and fun that was had!
