Visiting Artist: Matt Smith

Today woodcarver, Matt Smith, visited NCMS to put his talents on display. Throughout the day Smith gave demonstrations to our 6th, 7th, and 8th grade art students.

Despite the cold and wet weather, everyone enjoyed watching Smith at work. We learned that it takes 3+ chainsaws to create a single sculpture! During his visit Smith created a penguin, eagle, and fish, all of which will eventually be raffled off to the community!

A special thanks to Morgan Day at North Canton Patch and Lisa Reicosky at the Canton Repository for coming out and supporting the NC Art Department.

    

Photos From The Classroom

It's Friday and students are working hard on mixed media silhouettes {7th Grade} and self-portraits {8th Grade.} We love Friday's in the art classroom, it means MP3 players & rock music!

Here are a few snapshots from our day!

And, just a reminder, we have visiting artist, Matt Smith, demonstrating his craft on Thursday, September 15. Wood carving!
