Start checking this page often for updates
First of all, this situation we find ourselves in - is so different than anything we have ever been through before. I know it is stressful.
I believe that Art should be Fun and relieve stress so I am going to start posting fun things for you to try. Keep checking - I will add to it periodically.
If you need to contact me, email me at
coler@wilkes.k12.nc.us
Mrs Eller created a webpage with some fun art activities. I am posting the link here

The Wilkes Art Gallery
We have 18 Students who have art displayed at the Wilkes Art Gallery. I will certainly be in touch with you as soon as I know something and get your art back to you.
The Wilkes Art Gallery will be photographing and displaying the students art on their facebook page so if you are on Facebook - "like" the Wilkes Art Gallery and look for the art of the West Middle Students!
They also have a webpage and have posted some "at home" art projects.

Attention 8th graders
If you have internet, see if you can get to the 8A or 8B folders that we created. I will try to communicate with you through that folder. There is a Google doc at the bottom of the folder. Check it out. Please type your name when you log in so I know if you see it. We will try to do some creative -funny stuff using your phones or a camera. See you in the "Folder".
If you don't have internet - just keep taking photos! Get outside, enjoy they beautiful earth and get some fresh air and great photography.
*****I am going to to start some fun projects for you to try. If you are wondering- are these going to be graded? I don't know what will happen. Lets don't worry about it. Just have some fun and relax.
Project #1
Brighten Someones Day
This is an especially dangerous time for older people, especially those in Nursing Homes. They are not able have visitors. Make some fun art projects and then mail them to a Local Nursing Home or to and older friend or family member to let them know you are thinking of them.
Project #2. Draw a family tree
How many of you remember how to draw a winter tree from 6th grade???
I hope you all do!
Well - lets do that. Once you draw it, make it into a Family Tree. A family tree is a tree, where you label your family members. You can name Parents, Brothers and Sisters, Grandparents. Go back as far as you can naming your ancestors. I might be a good time to learn about Genelogy- the study of your family history. Take the time to ask your Parents and Grandparents where they came from. Get them to tell you stories of what life was like when they were young.
I got the idea for this project from the Wilkes Art gallery (the link is above). You can go there and check it out. They have a tree pattern for you - BUT I KNOW YOU CAN DRAW THE TREE YOURSELVES - I TAUGHT YOU HOW. :)
PROJECT #3
WONDERING WHAT TO DO WITH ALL THOSE EMPTY TOLIET PAPER ROLL TUBES
I hear there is a run on toilet paper??? Why- I have no clue. But start collecting the empty tubes and check out this project.
here is a link to the youtube page:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpvIOpciq2Y&feature=youtu.be
There are other links that will follow. They are interesting as well.
Project #4
Watch Bob Ross!
Friday Afternoon on PBS there are several painting shows - including the popular Bob Ross. PBS is free TV. You should be able to get PBS even if you don't have Cable. You can also find them on Youtube and I believe he is also on Netflix.
Here is a youtube link to get you started

Project #5
Learn to Knit, Crochet or Sew
It is a great time to learn one of these skills. This could become a lifelong hobby for you. See if you have a someone who can teach you - if not there are great online videos that you can watch.
