Paul LeBrun – Digital Art Teacher
The following is the beginning of the explanation taken from http://gridjumper.net/2011/11/29/high-school-students-create-and-display-art-virtually/. If you want to read the rest of the description and learn more about the work Skowhegan High School students are creating please go to the link.
A Guggenheim inspired structure used to display student art work on the Maine Sim in Reaction Grid.
The Digital Art Students at Skowhegan High School in Maine display art work from the ‘real’ world in virtual museums and galleries. Approximately 50 students enrolled in Paul Skowhegan’s (all avatars use the last name of their school) art classes are using some of the latest techniques and software to create works of art that can, theoretically, be shared worldwide.
Students get directions for a specific project, incorporating the standards-based requirements and artistic techniques along with instruction in using the software and hardware. The results are 3D structures that reflect a unique aesthetic filled with artwork that each individual student selects.
As a visitor to the sim on Reaction Grid, my tour consisted of several student-constructed galleries, the Surreal Gardens, and a build that is being constructed in collaboration with an English teacher whose class is studying The Great Gatsby.
