Reaching for the Stars 2016-17

This year, all art students in grades 5, 7, and 8 at F.M.S. participated in a collaborative project to get the year off to an inspiring start! Our theme and title was "Reaching for the Stars".

Using a drawing technique called "Zentangle",  students created patterns on a tracing of their arms and hands with Sharpie. This technique is calming and helps us to focus, and you can see the students really got into their patterns. The students then helped to assemble gluing the murals together and making Zentangle stars to finish the effect.
