Sixth, seventh, and eight grade art work is finally up in the halls and the library of Jefferson Middle School!
The 8th graders did a wonder job completing their acrylic agamograph. Students were inspired by the artist Yaacov Agam and his agamograph to create a kinetic artwork that centered on the idea of "change". 8th graders were given the option to choose a social issue that was important to them; something that they believed needed to be identified and that needed to change. Students were then charged with creating two images; one showing the situation as it is, the other showing the situation as it could be. Discovering what students were passionate about was a truly inspiring experience for me as an educator. Who knew that 8th graders had so much to say on issues such as: depression, bullying, deforestation, homelessness, hunger, and more. I absolutely loved seeing what students had to say and I believe the students had a fun time discovering just how much they had to say!
