For this week the 8th grade art students are learing about values scales and are working on their object renderings with a variety of shading pencils as part of their realsim unit.
Each student has selected an interesting photograph to render in detail that shows two or more different textures or surface qualities.
Also, as part of this unit we will review the life of the famous Dutch artist known as Rembrandt who was a master of realism and dramatic light and shadow effects.
In the area of community involvement, any 6th, 7th, or 8th grade student interested in entering their 2-D or 3-D artwork in the annual Darien Women's Club Creative Youth Fair Art Contest should see Miss Lehrer in the artroom to pick up a registration form and get help with matting your work for the display.
All registration forms should be received before January 10th,2009 if they are to be mailed by the artist.
