Realism unit continues and Darien Women's Club Art Contest

This week the 8th grade artists have been busy working on their object renderings.
Students are transposing full color photos into highly detailed realistic renderings that show the element of texture through a variety of shading techniques.



Students are using additional elements of art such as value,line,form,and space to enhance their drawing. In addition, the 8th grade artists are using the art principle of contrast and dominance to bring out their subject



Also, in the area of community news the Darien Women's Club is still accepting 2-dimensional work and 3-dimensional artwork registration forms if the entry form is dropped off to the Indian Prairie-Library before the end of this week. Review the posted flyers for detailed contest requirements.



Detailed information about this exciting community art contest is posted in the Lakeview Jr.High hallways near the showcases and in the art room.
