For this week 8th grade students have continued working on their object renderings.
In addition,students have completed a reading and discussion on the Baroque artist named Caravaggio who worked and lived in the 17th -18th c.
Caravaggio developed the use of dramatic lighting and spotlighting in his paintings. Also, the artist named Caravaggio used a full range of values in his work and a strong focal point as the students are doing in their object renderings. Students have also seen the connection between the work of Rembrandt and Caravaggio as part of this unit on realism and shading.
Students were reminded that the DGS Art department will be doing a presentation to the 8th grade in January at Lakeview Jr.High regarding the art electives that are available to students.
