    Welcome Message:
     
     Welcome parents and students to my Woodrow Wilson Art Page.
    The goal for my class is to prepare students for high school Visual
    Arts by introducing them to different basic techniques in illustration,
    Painting, and 3-Dimensional art. 
     
    Students do not need to have any prior knowledge or skill of doing
    Visual arts, but they are expected to participate and give an honest
    effort in doing class projects. Students are evaluated on their effort,
    direction following, and participation.Not on their overall artistic skill level. 
     
    Please be sure to check Infinite Campus and/or Schoology for student grades during the course of the quarter.
    Grades or most up-to-date on Schoology with updates to Infinite Campus to follow.

  • BLACK HISTORY MONTH 2024

    For the 2024 Black History Month activities, the students of Woodrow Wilson Middle School did paintings based on the art style of African-American Harlem Renaissance painter Aaron Douglass. Aaron Douglas was a mural painter and graphic artist who played a leading role in the 1920s-1930s Harlem Renaissance movement that attempted to showcase the various talents of Black Americans in the Visual, Performing, and Literary arts. A Fisk University teacher, Douglas would win countless honors, including an invitation to the White House by President John F. Kennedy in 1963. Students honor his art style by creating works of their own based on the styling of his work. Key visual elements in Douglas's work are the repeated use of circles, minimal colors of different values, and silhouetted figures.
