Byzantine Mosaic's --
7th graders learned about Byzantine art which was flat, emotionless, often times religious art created before the Renaissance. With the Italian Renaissance came art that had more emotion, color, realism, proportion and space. The mosaic process was tedious but the 7th graders stuck with it and the results were pretty cool.

Recycled art Robots...
After all the work the kids put in to their Byzantine art they needed a quick, fun art project...Robots drawn on sheet music paper. Some tried adding color with watercolor pencils which worked like watercolors when water was added.
