The 6th grade had a busy week of ISAT testing and also started some new areas in art.
We have been working on drawing and cartooning skills. As part of on going units, the 6th grade has reviewed the basic elements of art and their relationship to a work of art. We have discussed how the elements of art are used in famous master paintings and major works of art.
Several Lakeview 6th and 8th grade students have entered their drawings of Dr. Seuss characters in the PTO Art Contest. Students are awaiting the results of the contest for the Center Cass School District Fund Raiser called Horton Hears a Who! which took place this Sunday.
Also, in the area of new contests in the community the Downers Grove Women's Club has just announced the arrival of the Jr.High Art Contest for 7th and 8th grade art students of District 66 and District 58.
