A group of Long Beach Middle School seventh graders will have their work featured in the Brooklyn Art Library Sketchbook Project’s fourteenth volume, “Body-Line: Form and Function.” Under the guidance of art teacher Laura Swan, and English teacher/Middle Years Program Coordinator Laura Behan, students contributed illustrations as well as writing components to publication. 

Each student created an image and filled chosen adjectives in the form. Upon completion of the artwork, they reflected on their illustrations and wrote about how the artwork embodied their own personality. Students identified symbolism in the chosen form, function and colors selected. 

The digitized book will be available later this spring. Congratulations to the participants!
