Coil built vessels with sgraffito carving techniques by ceramics 1 student artists. How incredible are they?

It’s impossible to get through ceramics class without being hungry with these faux food units 🤤

Pixelated Painted Landscapes done by Art 1! Students only had the 3 primary colors + black & white to use, so each color you see is hand mixed. Very impressive!

Ceramics 1 knocked it out of the park with their FIRST unit, “faux food” sculptures.

When language and visual arts merge, magic happens! Art 1 students picked a piece of literature to illustrate through linoleum printmaking

Great day at the Bethel Pride Parade! 🏳️‍🌈

[Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont]

It fills me with great pride to officially proclaim June as Pride Month in Connecticut. 🏳️‍🌈

We will always value ourselves as being a place where people are free to be who they are, and live with dignity and respect.

Thank you Newtown High for inviting us to your Pride Prom! We had a blast 🏳️‍🌈 Back at it again tomorrow for the Pride Parade!! See you there 😎

More work from ceramics 2! Students chose a call for entries from museums/studios of their choice to “submit” to. They had to follow the prompt and guidelines for the entry they chose. Love how students have so much freedom and choice in this unit!

[Danielle Merrill (Harrison) @MsMerrillBHS]

Ceramic 2 students had to use critical thinking and problem solving skills to create a functional water fountain! How cool are these 😎

Love this! 🧡

Snow is still coming down! Hope everyone enjoyed their snow day ❄️
