New Link to the 2010-11 School Year Art Web Pages!!!

Hello everyone, I am in the process of transferring my Art Web Site to a different server. R.S.U. #57 will not be hosting the site anymore. The will shut it down on August 15, 2011. Please access my site through my blog .

I just retired after 35 years of teaching Art and I still want my former students and anyone else the opportunity to look at the site.

I plan to archive all my pages from the year 2000. They range from SPORTS, MUSIC , DRAMA SCHOOL LIFE and of course ART.

I’ll keep you posted as I upload them to my new host.

To my Sophomore and Juniors Pottery students: I truly enjoyed my time with you. You created some great pottery and I wanted to feature your body of work in your own personal web page. Enjoy and I’ll miss you. You can always get in contact with me through this blog. Have a great summer.

I created a page for each of my pottery seniors. They were introduced to the pottery wheel and one of their assignment was to create a tea set with a theme “Some of the Greatest Fairy Tales Ever Told!” using any building technique they learned in Pottery 1

Opening Reception at the Gallery on the Green A SUCCESS!

Mrs. Hussey — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 20:56:58 +0000

I would like to thank the Gallery on the Green for giving Massabesic Students this opportunity to exhibit their work in a professional setting. The evening was wonderful. My students were so happy to show friends and family their work; they also had a chance to meet the 3 Artists from the Gallery: Roger Deering Jr. , Susan Mesick, Ann Marie Therrien. They each received art supplies and a certificate. The Expo 2011 is on display until Saturday April 23, 2011. The Gallery is closed on Easter Sunday . Mr. Minelly’s son Peter, the owner of the Gallery, came up with the idea of the Expo 2011 for one of his High School business course. Great idea.

If you are in Alfred Maine, stop in and check out the Gallery. Go to their website to see their hours and the featured Artists.

Grade 6 Portrait Paintings

Mrs. Hussey — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 23:30:08 +0000

In this painting unit 6th grade students learned about drawing a face using proportion as a measuring tool. They also reviewed the color wheel and identified 6 different color schemes. When they started painting, they had to choose their schemes 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!
