Happy Holidays to all my students!

On December 20th my sixth grade students has fun making giant snowflakes. This was the last day before Winter Break. We took that opportunity to take a group picture. It is always fun using the self timer on the camera. The anticipation of the flashing light always put a smile on our faces. Click on the team’s name to see the pictures.

6th Grade Animations

6th grade students  just finished  their “Animation” project. This is a very exciting project, they are using their artistic abilities in creating their own cartoon characters. they have to come up with a situation and learn about technology. It has been a challenge working with shared laptops. 6th grade students are not as lucky as 7th and 8th grade students. They have to share 1 set of laptops for the team. They each have an account on the school server. We had to work through many little kinks and they had to be patients. Our motto this past week is “Go with the FLOW!”   Some students had to visit Mr. Cram our technology specialist with problems like logging on to the server, running out of space on the server, retrieving password.  On October 26, 2010, we had our first animation. It is now on the Art pagenjoy!
I welcome any comments from my students and parents.

New Updates on the Art Webpage!

The Art Rooms have been very busy since school started.

High School Pottery I – Please go to High School Pottery 1 webpage. We have been working on pinchs pots with slip decorations. We learned how to load the kiln and glaze our pots with a clear glaze.

 Next the class worked on  a  “Ball Construction with a Mold“” Students brought in a bowl from home, then they laid a piece of tulle in the bowl  as a release agent. They rolled small balls of clay and started layering them in their bowls. The clay balls were attached together using their fingers or a modeling tool. Most students did 2 of these bowls and after releasing the clay from the bowl they are put together by scoring and using slip (score and slip). A neck is added using coil or slab.

Each students created a “Kiln God ” to watch over the kiln . All Ball Construction with a Mold Vases made it.!

Students are now working on a coil pot. 

      We are  learning all the different aspects of pottery, from different building techniques, glazes, loading and firing the kiln and also intertwine our lessons with Art History and the Elements and Principles of Design.

6th Grade Art  Our first major project: In this painting unit  6th grade students learned about  drawing a face using  the right proportion. They also reviewed the color wheel and identified 6 different color harmonies or schemes. When they started painting, they had to choose their harmonies from: cool, warm, complementary, split complementary,  monochromatic and analogous colors. They did a lot of mixing with tones to make their painting more interesting. They learned a lot about colors. And most of all   that PAINTING IS FUN! 

Our 2nd project: 6th grade students learned about Art History through shoes. From sandals in ancient Egypt, poulaines in superstitious Medieval times, scarpines with King Henry VIII, platform shoes in  Europe, boots with heels with cowboys , wood shoes or sabot in France, to modern times . After learning basic paper construction: scoring and making tabs , using white glue the proper way, they designed their own shoes.

We are now working on creating a marionette and drawing cartoons. The cartoons will become animated. More info to come on this exciting project!

The 1st Quarter Art web is complete

There are many additions on the 7th and 8th grade art web page.

You can view some great little animations from the 7th grade and the 8th grade clay project. They created a tea pot and tea cup. We finished the project with a Fun Tea Party. Enjoy the 1st quarter webpage. It will eventually change with the 2nd quarter art projects.

New Animations and Winter Sports pictures!

Our 2nd quarter students just finished creating their own computer generated animations. The MLTI program, unique to the the State of Maine, helps to make this project a reality. Every student is issued the use of a laptop for their two years at the Middle School.  This project helps students to explore additional uses of their computer beyond word processing and web surfing. This was a very exciting project, the results of which you can see by checking out the MMS animation page.
       We started this project with a lesson on cartooning.  Afterwards, each student brainstormed ideas for their own animation.  Students then drew, painted, outlined and cut their cartoon characters and backgrounds out of paper.  Utilizing a digital camera and the Apple iMovie software, students began constructing their animations, frame-by-frame. After the animation was complete, students added a soundtrack (often mixing voice and music).  Once the animation was finished, it was rendered as a QuickTime movie.  Each movie has been uploaded to the school server and is available for viewing here.
      If you have any questions on how this was done, feel free to email me at Lucille_Hussey@fc.sad57.k12.me.us 

The 7th and 8th grade Boys and Girls Basketball and the Winter Cheering pictures are now posted our our Sports Page! Enjoy the slide show and good luck to our Mustangs!

Massabesic High School MVPs Sport Page

The Massabesic High School Sports MVPs is up to date for the school year 2007-08

Check out the Massabesic’s sports teams MVPs archive. MVPs are sorted by both school years and the various sports. If you are an alumni, go down memory lane and see yourself or your old friends; if you are a student, you might see your parents, relatives or acquaintances listed as a former Massabesic MVP. It is also interesting to see what sports have been added as the years go by.

I started this page in 2001. As I was walking in the hall at the High School and looking at the plaques for the school’s MVPs, I always wondered what these people looked like and thought how it would be fun to look at a collection of pictures by year and by sport. I hope you’ll have as much fun looking at it as I had making it.
Interesting facts:

  • When the school opened in 1969, the boys teams were wrestling, basketball, track and baseball and girls had only basketball and softball as options.
  • Cross country, football and track was added the following year for boys. Fields hockey and track for girls
  • Tennis and swimming made its appearance in 1983 for girls. Boys’ swimming started in 1984. Fall Cheering was introduces in 1984 and winter cheering in 1986.
  • Soccer was introduced in 1986 both for boys and girls.
  • Hockey made its debut in 1994.
  • In 2004-05 the first girl lacrosse team was formed and boy’s lacrosse followed in 2006-07.
