Welcome to our first day in Art I. We started class today by getting to know each other. Mrs. Highsmith created a PowerPoint (available on her homepage) to introduce herself to the class and then students filled out a questionnaire about themselves.

Next, students created a drawing of their hand holding an object. This drawing will be used to show student growth at the end of the semester. The following pictures show the seniors in 2nd period working on their drawings.

After the drawings, the class reviewed the August Newsletter (to be signed by a parent or guardian tonight) and looked at the class Blog (link on Mrs. Highsmith's Homepage). Each day we post write-ups and photos to our blog. Follow along with us each day!

We also got two Fieldtrip forms today to get signed! $7 will cover the cost of our 3 field trips throughout the semester. We will be going to the Concord Gallery on two occasions and to the Mint Museum once.

Finally with the few minutes left in class we began to discuss our classroom Rules and Procedures. We will continue this discussion tomorrow.
