Art 1 - "Wrapped Up Celebrity"

Students in Art 1 recently studied art that makes a social statement.  They looked at several works of art by artist Kathe Kolwitz, who during World War II, created works of art showing the atrocities of war.  Students were to note how the work was never violent, but but powerful in its message.

Social statement artwork by Hoover students was to tell us their opinion on celebrities who they feel their time is 'wrapped up" in the public eye.  After learning how to create an shade ribbon, students created complex wrapping around the figure of their choice.
