This week the 7th grade artists continued with their still-life drawings and their study of realism,in additon to light and shadow.
For our art history unit students have studied the work of three Post Impressionists who worked with value and color in their work. We have explored the interesting life and artwork of Paul Cezanne,Paul Seurat,and Vincent Van Gogh who worked during the 19th -20th century in France.
Also, near the end of this week we have begun a unit on Pop Art and the relationship to the comic and comic strip in advertising. Students will be transposing small full-color comics into large blow-up images much like the work of Pop artist Andy Warhol and the Pop artist named Roy Lichtenstein of the l960s.
