This past week 8th grade artists have completed their sculpture drawings and have explored a logo design as part of the graphic design unit in art.
Students created logo color comps or color roughs as graphic designers based on the concept of weather, the seasons, climate change or global warming. Students used a graphic or pictorial symbol,a geometric shape, and a sense of contrast to create their logograms or word pictures.
In addition, students had an opportunity to explain their work based on some of the elements and principles of art and design criteria in class.
Students are now preparing to start their bas- relief sculpture unit in the next weeks.
The 8th grade art students have created colored pencil drawings based on nature inspiration sources such as animals,plants,fish,the weather, and the natural environment.
The concept of bas-relief sculpture can be created in many mediums such as clay,metal,wood and stone and has been used in many forms of art and architecture through many cultures and civilizations.
Students will soon explore the concept of projections,recessions,and texture to create their low-relief sculptural designs with modeling tools.
