Bailey\’s Art Stuff

Any student that wants to submit artwork for the Coastal Carolina Fair must hand it to an SHS Art Teacher on or before Oct 15th. We are limited in 2D visual art to only 20 entries for the entire school. We will judge these works on Oct 16th. We have no school limit on Photography, Sculpture, or Ceramics. Talk to Ms. Everly (photography) or Ms. Gahagan-Billera (sculpture-ceramics) if you are interested in these areas.

The SHS Art Club and National Art Honor Society will have their first meeting on Tuesday October 7th from 3-4 pm in Art Room 163.  We will have  refreshments, door prizes,  and  information about activities and contests for the semester. Be There!

Congrats to our 2007-08 AP  Studio Art Students! They worked very hard, stayed focused, and were very dedicated to there responsibilities. The effort paid off with 65% of them earning passing AP Scores. One student earned a score of 5. Three of them earned a score of 4. All the art teachers and students are proud of you!

Sculptor Julie McCraney-Brogdon taught a two and 1/2 week workshop at SHS. She asked all students to prepare and present portfolios for submission to receive the $100 Portfolio Award. Julie, SHS Art Teachers, and Fort Dorchester High Art Teachers served as the judges. SHS junior Joshua Anderson was the winner of the Julie McCraney-Brogdon Portfolio Award. Go Josh!!!!!!

Noted figure sculptor Julie McCrany-Brogdon taught a two and 1/2 week figure sculpting workshop for SHS students. Many students gave up their lunch period to spend this time learning about both sculpting and studying the human figure from Ms. McCraney-Brogdon. DDII Fine Arts Coordinator Larry Barnfield hired models to pose for 2 hours each day. He paid Ms. McCraney-Brogdon from a grant that the district had received. The students created excellent sculptures. They will be on display at Sculpture in the South in May.

Your instruction in a standards based art class should include many techniques and processes for making choices, formulating choices available, and selecting your own answer to a problem.
