Students in 7th and 8th grade art at Foster explored the world of Tim Burton. Analyzing his iconic Gothic stylized art, they identified key characteristics he is known for such as the exaggerated facial features, large haunting eyes and frightfully long thin necks. Replicating his style they practiced their skills in pencil before diving into the new materials of Charcoal and Chalk Pastel. With the use of value changes to create the illusion of shadows, students challenged themselves to transform flat 2D drawings into 3D forms, tricking the viewer's eye.
Check out their hard work and fantastic creations! Their work is on display at Foster Middle School and will be viewable to visitors during the Fine Arts Show Case later in October.

“FMS Success and Nothing Less!”
📣 Attention Dragon Families! 🐉
Tomorrow, Tuesday, September 23rd, and Wednesday, September 24th, all Foster Middle School students will take their Math CA #1 and a Social Studies test. Testing will begin promptly at 8:15 a.m., so it is very important that students arrive to school on time.
🍎 A reminder that the cafeteria offers free breakfast each morning for any student who would like to eat.
If your student normally travels to the high school for 1st period, they will need to report to Foster for 1st period on these testing days.
Students should remain in regular dress code (uniform shirt or FMS spirit with uniform bottoms) and should not bring blankets, stuffed animals, snacks, or similar items. Testing days are treated just like regular school days, so all campus expectations and rules will still apply.
Thank you for your support in helping our Dragons show their best effort this week. Together, we achieve “Success and Nothing Less!” 🐉
