In eighth grade exploratory art, students are learning about the art work of Louise Nevelson. Students were tasked with using found objects from the art room and at home to create art inspired by work. The objective of this lesson is to have students use shape, form, overlapping and repetition in their art and use spray paint to make them monochromatic.
