This past week the 8th grade art students were continuing with their unit on realism.
Students have reviewed the life and work of Rembrandt who was a 17th century artist from Holland who used dramatic lighting and creative uses of shading in his realistic works of art.
Currently students are continuing with the layout of their object rendering and are exploring a variety of shading techniques to bring out the texture and detail of the object that they will be rendering. In addition during this past week the art students have created a value scale and have reviewed the significance of a full range of values in a realistic work of art.
