For this project, our 7th and 8th grade artists created art focused on Vermont wildlife species. Students practiced techniques in drawing and painting to create realistic textures – from fur, to feathers, to scales and shells – that would bring their subjects to life. These artists also worked to ensure that their compositions had depth and balance, and that the habitats they depicted reflected the natural beauty of Vermont.

Many of our student artists plan to submit their artwork from this project to the Vermont Wildlife Education Fund’s annual wildlife art competition and art show!

For this project, our 7th and 8th grade artists explored and analyzed visual elements in a range of abstract artworks, with a particular focus on the work of Wassily Kandinsky. Students learned about the difference between geometric and organic shapes and the way shapes and colors impact mood in a work of art. Students also practiced analyzing the use of balance and rhythm in abstract compositions, and ultimately created mixed media abstract artworks of their own.

The Winooski School District (WSD) Public Safety Committee has created a School Emergency Information Guide to provide you with information about how you can respond if an emergency were to occur at WSD. Please take a few minutes to look over the guide and be prepared to do your part!

Interpreted audio files are also available for those who may need them.

Our Winooski Middle School art students have done beautiful work on their annual surrealist self–portraits, demonstrating fantastical qualities of Surrealism while representing their identities. Each student has embedded aspects of themself into their self–portrait with thoughtful visual symbolism.
