On Monday, February 23, students in the Rogers Art Club worked on a creative new project focusing on abstract sculptures. The Rogers Art Club is sponsored by the Berkley Education Foundation (BEF) as part of their free enrichment program.
For this abstract sculpture project, students wrote their names on a wooden block, shaped hangers into forms of their choosing, covered them with nylon stockings, and painted them with gesso. In a later session, students will add color to further develop their designs. This hands-on lesson gave young artists the opportunity to experiment with abstract sculpture techniques and explore their creativity.
The Berkley Education Foundation funds enrichment courses free of charge to elementary and middle school students to bring unique experiences to students and to enhance their learning.
