Somerset Christian Sixth-Grader
Every Wednesday afternoon at Somerset Christian School, art class is held for sixth-graders.
The class has made many different projects. Some are more time consuming than others.
Several of the larger projects the pupils have worked on throughout the year are self-portraits, papier mache‚ animals and still-life paintings.
The self-portraits were the hardest. I had to keep my head in the same position almost the whole time.
The still-life projects turned out to be very nice.
When the class finished the rough drawings, watercolors and pastels were used to complete the projects.
The sixth-grade girls, Grace Sprowls and I, worked on a papier mache armadillo.
The sixth-grade boys, Christian Miller, Isaac Plummer and Levi Clevenger, made a papier mache sloth.
Elizabeth Trent, the art teacher, entered the projects in a middle-school art exhibition at Laurel Arts in Somerset.
The armadillo didn’t win a prize, but the boys’ sloth captured second place.
