8th grade unit ends

The 8th grade art students have completed their final worksheet on the Object Rendering unit.

Students have briefly been introduced to the area of advertising art and graphic design. Next week we will begin a new unit in graphic design and illustration for reproduction. Lakeview art students will begin a cover design.

This week we have also explored course options in the Art Department at the Downers Grove South High School for next year. Students have many wonderful diverse course options at the high school in the art department to further their creativity.

Students have also been informed about the yearly community art contest sponsored by the Darien Women's Club. Students in grades 6,7,and 8 can enter artwork in any media such as drawing,painting,ceramics,sculpture,mixed-media and photography.

Please stop by the Lakeview art room to get further information or an entry form since the deadline is approaching very soon for the Creative Youth Art Fair of 2008.
