February Art Students of the Month

Announcing the February Art Students of the Month!

6th grade: Arturo George
7th grade: Zach Dempsey
8th grade: Bridget Covarrubias

These students have started off the trimester strong jumping into each project and just going for it!  Each of these students helps their peers when needed, maintains the art studio, and have a general good attitude in class!  

6th grade: Arturo George

Arturo was a little hesitant at first to believe in his art skills, but now into his fourth project, he has found his groove.  Look at this shading in his horse!  






7th Grade: Zach Dempsey

Zach has impressed me with his enthusiasm and attention to detail in his work.  He has unique ideas, but also listens to feedback and uses it to improve his work.  




8th Grade: Bridget Covarrubias

Bridget has taken the projects and RUN this year!  She is focused, determined and varied in her project ideas.  Just look at the shading in this cow!  





Check out the work of ALL our Hester artists at our online Artsonia gallery!

Then I presented a session on involving students in the assessment process.  This s...

I am lucky enough to have wonderful students at Hester who love to go above and beyond the call of duty.  I co-sponsor yearbook club with Ms. Ryan and we have a wonderful committed group this year that is working on creating a FABULOUS yearbook.  As our official yearbook photographer, Sebastian Portillo spent two games before winter break capturing these action-packed shots of the Hester Boys Basketball Team and I couldn't wait for the yearbook release to share these photos.  Check it out!  Thanks Sebastian for your awesome hard work!
