This week the 8th grade art students have been working on their design of a graduation cover design for the 8th Grade Commencement in June.
Students have used graphic symbols that express learning,achievement,the future,and life at Lakeview Jr.High School in their designs.
The art principles of unity,contrast,proportion and dominance have been stressed in this unit of study. In addition, students have used different fonts or typefaces to enhance their designs with a message,quote or inspirational phrase.

Dutch artist known as Mondrian who is considered to be one of the artists that has greatly influenced architecture,industrial design and graphic arts due to his use of abstraction from nature and simplification of an idea.
