Middle school artists across the district have been exploring Repoussé, an ancient metalworking technique that turns flat sheets of metal into stunning three-dimensional designs.

These beautiful creations came from Ms. McCartney’s art classes at McNair Middle School, where students drew inspiration from the natural beauty of botanicals. 🌿

Each student began with a sketch and brought their vision to life by shaping thin sheets of aluminum into intricate, raised designs, blending art, history, and creativity in every piece. ✨

Ms. Krementz’s science students at ALLPS experimented with milk and food coloring, watching a burst of color appear when dish soap was added!

Through this activity, students learned how to write lab reports, identify dependent and independent variables, and understand why changing only one variable at a time is key to a fair test. Experiments bring learning to life!
