color wheel, doing Halloween mask Crafts and we
will be observing environments paying attention
to all the colors and shapes in nature.

secondary and tertiary colors.
We will examine visual, spatial, and temporal

shapes creating 3D effects through paper folding, scorning,

on dark construction paper. we will use problem solving skills
to produce our own works of art from memory and observation.

art form that uses optical illusion to create changes
when you look at it from different angles.

Calling all Students grades 5-8
it's contest time!
Each year, Bishop Sullivan selects the cover for his
Christmas card from artwork submitted by students in
South Jersey Catholic Schools. The winner will have
her/his card selected and used for Bishop Sullivan's
Christmas Card!! If a winner is chosen from Bishop
McHugh I will also award that student with a gift card
and let that student choose an art project for their
class to work on!!
Please follow these guidelines:
· Artwork may come from students in any grade, 5-8.
· All original artwork should be submitted on a white
8 ½” x 11” sheet of paper.
· The artwork will be resized for production, so artists
should leave a margin of white space around the
edges to ensure nothing gets cut out of the image.
· The scene should focus on the Holy Family and
the story of the Nativity of Jesus as proclaimed in
the Gospels. Please do not include the Magi.
