For 7th grade art this week we are starting our unit on realism in art and the Still-Life.
For the start of this unit we are studying the work of the very famous realistic American illustrator and painter named Norman Rockwell. The wonderful work of this 20th century American artist can be found in many publications such as the Saturday Evening Post where he dealt with slices of American life and American hobbies. His work used value,shading and realistic photography as an inspiration for his portraits and compositions with people and places in the American landscape.
We will also begin to review the geometric solids,value scales and shading techniques which are used in both realistic drawings,illustrations and paintings.
