Completed mandalas. These were done by the 5th and 6th grade students. They were using symmetry, pattern, repetition, line, color (analogous and complementary), space, value, and shape!

Op art Gallery This work was done by the 7th grade students. We worked a lot on value. Our goal was to crete an image that tricked the eye.

3rd Annual Orcas Showcase

Wednesday night we celebrated the students of Whale Branch Middle School and their outstanding artistic talents. It was a wonderful evening! The students came out with their families and just enjoyed an evening of musical entertainment and art. Sometimes, this kind of talent can get brushed under the rug but that didn't happen this year. There was a fantastic turn out and people seemed to just enjoy themselves.
Thank you to all of you that spent the evening with us.
The related arts team had a wonderful time.
Our students are incredible!

The 5th and 6th grade student have been working on a clay tile piece.

The 6th graders created a mandala. They were to demonstrate symmetry through a radial design.

The 5th graders were to take a section of their name and enlarge it onto their clay tile. Then they were to fill each section with a different pattern.

Chameleons...the 7th grade class has been working on a project with chameleons. The final product turned out really well and they will be on display at the 3rd Annual Orcas Showcase on June 9th! Come out and see their work.
