Description

Grade 8 visual arts brings the story of art to the present. Students study representational painting from Regionalism to Pop Art, the power of twentieth-century photography to document and question, sculpture from Rodin and Brancusi to Maya Lin and Louise Bourgeois, and contemporary artists who use street art, installation and performance. They conclude with Post-Modern architecture, from the inside-out Centre Pompidou to Gehry's Guggenheim, Zaha Hadid and the Burj Khalifa.
