8th+Grade+Art

Welcome to 8th grade Art

Students need to have a //**sketchbook, and a pink eraser**// in the art room. The spiral sketchbook will hold up better then the glued edges do. The students will have a cubby to store their supplies in, but they may need to share their cubby with a classmate, so please put their name on their items. Each student will make a portfolio for holding all completed work of art, the students will use their sketchbooks for daily drawing assignments, class notes, and thumb nail sketches for assignments.
