WE HAVE A WINNER!!! The results of the school-wide vote were SO close that we had to combine some of the best aspects of the top lions into one hybrid design. Our 7th grade contributors were Jesus Contreras, Lorenzo Rivera, Itzely Candelario, Sebastian Osorio, Julian Fernandez, and Crystal Andrade. The font that had the most votes was from 8th grader Sergio Matias. Shirts will be available in a variety of colors, sizes, and styles. Thank you to everyone who voted and submitted entries!

 

 

The quality of a museum is not in its name or size according to New York City's Museum (yes, this museum is called just that). Built in an old elevator shaft in one of NYC's many alley ways, Museum is not just the smallest museum in the world it's also one of the strangest. The goal of the museum's founders is/was not to collect or showcase things that are already famous or significant, but instead to show stuff that represents what life is like right now - no matter how ordinary or insignificant. The idea is that something as simple as fake plastic puke or old potato chip bags can tell a lot about people. What do you think of this idea? Would people know what you were like if your bedroom was opened up to the public like a museum?

Photorealistic painter Robin Eley makes incredibly life-like pictures of people distorted by the wrinkles and folds of transparent plastic sheets/bags. In this progress video of his 2011 work Plastic you can see that his strategy is to simply paint every change in value (the lights, darks, and mid-tones) no matter how small they might seem. Every highlight and every shadow make their own unique shape and like pieces of a puzzle or the sections in a paint-by-numbers they come together to make a clear image. What might be the biggest obstacle to you painting in this way? (Mixing the right tones? Seeing the right highlight and shadow shapes? Making all the shapes fit together correctly?) It is only through practice that we learn to truly SEE.
