Get your stencil on!

MPX10 students are hard at work preparing for the upcoming exhibition "Civil War Silhouettes." They started with research of an invention during the civil war with their partner and wrote an argumentative paper about how this invention affected the war and continued to affect the world today. 

Next, after the field trip to the art museum, they created drafts of how they could express their thesis  through art. Then they teamed up with a visit from the advanced drawing class to get feedback on their drafts and refined them.

Once their design was approved it was time to start going big with their silhouettes in the style of Kara Walker, a modern artist we studied.
