During the first junior high art club session, students learned the basics of working with watercolor as well as a variety of painting techniques. During the second week session, students applied their new skills to add color to the iris of what would eventually be a giant, spooky eyeball! This week, art club students completed their giant, spooky eyeball projects! Additionally, 6th grade students are writing stories that will be displayed in the hallway alongside the eyeballs.
