This week the 6th grade has begun their Surrealistic unit of study. Students are creating a photomontage composition with a hand drawn image integrated into the compositon.
Students are using overlapping of forms,silhouettes,and the illusion of space in their work. Students will use the elements of line,shape,value,space,texture and color to enhance their work of art.
In addition, the principles of unity,proportion,and dominance will be used.
In the area of art history and art appreciation, the 6th grade is reviewing the work of Salvatore Dali, Rene Magritte,and M.C. Escher who are 20th century artists known for their unique fantasy-like transformation images.
In the area of community news, any 7th or 8th grade Lakeview student may enter their 2D or 3D artwork in the annual Darien Junior Women's Club Junior High Art Contest.
