The 8th grade art studetns have just finished their bas-relief sculptures. Several examples can be viewed in the hallway showcase at Lakeview Jr.High.
During this past week the 8th grade artists learned a little about Impressionism and Post-Impressionism and created a landscape drawing in that style of art.
To close our unit in sculpture and art appreciation, the 8th grade students learned about a very famous 20th century American sculptor named George Segal. This artist is best known for his life-life plaster casts of human forms in everyday situations in life. This artist's works and studio method were explored in class and connections were made to the real world.
