Paintings were due, Now onto Neoclassical sculptures (with paper)

Hey Gang,

Students turned in their Persuasive paintings yesturday (Tuesday, Feb. 1st, 2011) to be graded.  The focus of the paintings was on using subject matter, color, and exageration to persuade the audience to make some sort of change for the better in our world. 
PPTs to REVIEW:  -  Emphasis , Color ,
Persuasive Art of Early America   8th, and,
Purposes Of Art       

Now:  We're looking at creating a scupted Model of a Neoclassical Building, using Pattern to create Balance, harmony, and beauty (from Ancient Greek designs) and combine these with Modern or "Neo" design elements.    

PPTs -      Greek Architecture     and    
                Neoclassical Architecture              8th

Classical elements to remember:
Post and Lintel
Gabelled roof or sloped roof tops
Colonnades (rows of columns)
Balance, Harmony, Beauty

Actual examples of these scuptures can be found in my room, here and there. 

NOTE:   If you've seen this post, come to me if you're in my class and say the code word "Thomas Jefferson - Neo" for a reward.  :)
