This week the 8th grade artists finished their sculpture projects. Students used various texture techniques with paint and explored the antique process for metal bas- relief sculpture.
In the area of art appreciation students learned about the life and work of 20th century sculptor named George Segal whose life-sized plaster sculptures are found in most major museums of contemporary art in the United States. We also explored Egyption Art and the design of masks as an art form.
In the area of community news: The Darien Woman's Club is sponsoring a Fine Arts Scholarship which is open to 7th -12th grade students in the community. The $350 Fine Arts Scholarship is awarded to two students for the 2010-2011 school year. It is to be used in the summer of 2010 for a class or camp in the area of fine arts.
Stop by the art room and see Miss Lehrer for an application or more information.
