Worthingway Middle School Art

A tradition has started at Worthingway! If you take art as an 8th grade student you will design a tile that will be permanently displayed in the hallway above the lockers. I notice many kids walking down the hallway admiring the tiles from previous classes of 8th graders. The project is open for kids to get creative and to design a piece of art that represents them. They simply drew their design in pencil, then we used paint and paint pens to add color, lastly we will coat the tiles in a shiny layer of Mod Podge. Here is a sneak peak of a couple tiles coming soon to our hallways.

Wow! What a fantastic first year it has been at Worthingway Middle School. I have loved working with all of the kids and staff alike! This year was a big learning year for me personally. I learned about how to teach middle school kids, what inspires them, and how to motivate them. These are things that I believe I will be constantly learning about through out my teaching career. I am looking forward to the years to come growing the art community here at Worthingway. Here is a look back on some of the beautiful art happenings.
