Sculpture unit comes to a close this week....

This week the 8th grade art students have been finalizing their clay and metal sculptures in class. Students have explored various painting techniques such as stippling,drybrush, and the use of glazes on their clay sculptures.

We have also briefly experimented with impressionsitic style techniques.

For art appreciation this week,we will continue to view and discuss the exciting sculptural work of the 2oth century sculptor named George Segal who is best known for his plaster life-size sculptures of people in everyday settings.
