Art - The following  are the instructions for our current Art assignment.  (Due Monday)

Task

• You will create a personal “logo” for yourself.
• The logo can be whatever you want it to be, but it should communicate something that you stand for.  (i.e., a mountain or large slope could represent that you take every journey that allows you to go the extra mile, because that’s a destination that is never crowded).
• You could also have a slogan to go along with your logo (i.e., “Go the extra mile.  It’s never crowded.”)
• Apply at least 2 of the following elements of design in your logo, and make sure you write on the back of your assignment how you used the elements of design that you chose.…
• Shape (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJzGkZwkHt4)

Below are some links to texts which promote mindsets that we are seeking to develop in our  class this year in order to enhance our learning experiences.  Each text is a teacher writing to their student in an effort to provide encouragement.  I hope you enjoy them.  Please let me know what you think :)  

I encourage you to share and discuss these with your parents.  In order to view them, I believe you will need to be logged into your Google Apps account.

1.  Adding to your bank account
2.  To the student who just got an answer wrong in class
3.  To accomplish, you must first become
4.  School improves your passions
5.  The way school improves your passions
6.  Are you committed to your success?  Prove it, and you'll be glad you did!

Have a great evening,


Mr. Carr
