Lakeview Jr.High artists win awards and recognition in community

This week the 8th grade artists continued to sculpt and paint their clay sculptures. Students used their knowledge of color theory and color mixing to begin the underpainting of their nature inspired clay sculptures. Some students also worked on bas-relief or low relief metal sculptures, as well.

Also,this week we have explored the art of masks in the world and their relationship to
bas-relief sculpture. Students created small imaginary mask drawings based on an inspiration source.
