Lakeview 7th grade art students have continued their unit on value, realism, and still-life drawing.
During this week, students read about the famous French artist named Cezanne who was a master of the still-life painting in the 19th to 20th century. He is considered the father of modern art in the western world.
Each student has completed a value scale this week that shows a range of values or tones from dark to light. This knowledge of tonal values and shading is integral to the study of realism and the illusion of 3-dimensional forms in a still-life compostion.
Students have begun sketching layouts of a variety of still-life objects and geometric solids in preparation for their final composition
