student art work with the words "metaphorical self portrait"

Art is a wonderful hobby.  Art is a great way to relieve stress.  Art is also a great way to express yourself.

Students in Mrs. Hertle's first block art class created some wonderful pieces of art.  Entitled "Metaphorical Self Portraits," students studied the use of metaphor and symbolism in visual art.  They then applied what they had learned to create self portraits using a mixed media.

The student art was on display outside the art room.  If you missed it, however, we hope that you will enjoy this small sampling of the students' work.

So, the next time you are walking by the art room, be sure to look up and take note.  There might just be some cool art on display - art that will tell you a bit more about the artists themselves.
