From Mrs. Herion:
 
Art Class Assignment-E-Learning Day-Friday, January 12, 2024
2024 Creativity Challenge
Hello Students,
Please see below for a Google Slide link of project samples for the 2024 Creativity Challenge Art Project and the project worksheet for you to print out at home and complete. 
If you do not have access to a printer, copy the numbers on a blank piece of paper and complete the project.
 
Your assignment is to turn each individual number in the year 2024 into an object/picture/scene.
The paper can be turned in any direction you'd like. All pictures do not need to face the same direction. Please label each picture with a description of what you created. You can draw first with a pencil if you'd like. Next, go over all pencil lines with a black marker. Add color to your drawings with whatever supplies you have at home. All projects should be brought back to school next week. Any work not completed will be completed during your next art class. Junior high students will be adding a grading sheet to the back. 
Questions? Please email me at jherion@stjuliana.org
Thanks and good luck! I can't wait to see what you come up with!
 
Sincerely,
 
Mrs. Herion
