This past week students have completed painting details on their clay sculpture and have done some finishing touches on their work.
In addition, 8th grade art students have started their unit on advertising arts and graphic design. Students are learning about the principles of good graphic design in the creation of a program cover for the upcoming 8th Grade commencement ceremony.
This is an exciting real-life application of their knowledge of design,typefaces, and pictorial symbols. The students will be using principles such as unity,repetition,contrast and emphasis in the design of their program cover.
In addition, the 8th grade students are using various inspiration sources from their internet research to create a preliminary rough layout for their design. This rough pencil layout will be the basis for a final graduation cover design for the June commencement at Lakeview Jr.High School in June of 2009.
THIS ART CONTEST IS ALSO OPEN TO ALL LAKEVIEW 8TH GRADE STUDENTS FROM THE CLASS OF 2009.
See Ms.Lehrer in the art room for entry requirements and contest details if you are not currently in art class at Lakeview Jr.High.
