This week we will be taking a more Contemporary look at Art. We will be learning how to make Art out of anything and everything. Nothing is safe from possibly being adhered on, nailed to, drawn with, or painted over. We will be working with mixed media, some sculpture, and also how to integrate the two. A mess will be made, a different type of Art will be created, but fun will be had. Artists that we will look at will be Louise Nevelson, Jasper Johns, and Robert Rauschenberg.
