8th Grade Artwork in Roseville Library

Picture
Until July 18, 2012, an exhibition of student artwork created by our own 8th grade JAA scholars will be on display at the Downtown Roseville Library.  The large collages feature preservation of Dry Creek, a local waterway. Dry Creek, flows just north of the school and also borders the library. 
In preparation for the collages, students explored Dry Creek, studying plants and animals native to the region.  Students were surprised to learn the variety of endangered animals that rely on the environment surrounding the stream.  

As part of the process of creating a collage, scholars also reviewed techniques artists use to express a theme in works of art. Images glued to the works symbolize natural elements such as wind, earth, fire and water as well as a wide variety of plants and animals.

Students were challenged to apply principles of design, using math to unify their work, which creates a sense of harmony and focus.  Key elements such as a school of fish or a darker horizon line were placed according to the geometry of an 18”X24” rectangle.

Another requirement for the work of art was that at least one-half of a large face would need to be in proportion.  The other half of the face could represent feelings and impressions about nature and the importance of preserving our natural heritage.
