Students have reached the final stages of their Class of 2008 Grad Cover designs.
The 8th grade have used some of the elements of art such as line,shape,and space and the principles of art such as emphasis,dominance, and contrast. In addition, the students have learned about the need for a visual hook and the use of "breathing space" or negative space to increase the visual impact of their work.
Lakeview artists have also selected different fonts from the computer to coordinate with the mood or feeling of their program cover design. The importance of type or font styles has been introduced and will be further studied next week with connections to the real world of advertising art, marketing and careers in graphic design.
In addition,students have started to create finished color drawings based on the theme of nature,the weather or climate change for their sculpture unit which will be introduced this coming week.
