This week the 8th grade artists finalized their hand drawings. Students used a range of values and texture to complete their work. Several students will be submitting their hand drawings to the annual Darien Women's Club Art Contest this year.
In addition, the 8th grade has explored portrait drawing and has completed a short worksheet on facial features and shading the face.
Currently, students are selecting photos to render for our next unit called Object Rendering. Each student must select an interesting photo with two or more unique and different textures.
In the area of community news, the Darien Womens' Club is sponsoring their annual art contest which is open to 6th,7th,and 8th grade artists.
Detailed information can be found on their website: www.darienwomansclub.org
Also see Miss Lehrer in the art room for more information and registration forms for this exciting contest after Winter Break.
Miss Lehrer will help any student with the matting and presentation of their work for the contest.
Happy Holidays and I will see you in 2010!

8th Grade Art begins
This week was the start of 2nd trimester art for the 8th grade.
We have begun a short review of the elements of art and their relationship to realistic drawing.
Each 8th grade artist is creating a reflective hand drawing of their own hand. Students have the option of incorporating a small hand held inanimate object in their hand. This object should relect an interest,hobby, or future aspiration. In addition, students may choose to incorporate an object in the distance by using the concept of linear perspective in their work.
Students are using the elements of line,shape,form,value,and texture in their drawing.
As part of this unit we have reviewed the life and work of the realistic painter and illustrator known as Norman Rockwell. This artist used many facial gestures as well as expressive hand images in his work.
Also,this year some Lakeview 7th grade artists have been selected to be exhibited with the work of Downers Grove South High School students for their Winter Art Show which begins December 2009. Although Lakeview has numerous outstanding talented students,this year we were given the opportunity to exhibit 5 outstanding 2D works of art from the 7th grade.
This year Nicole Wroblewski,April Wendling,Jennifer Shi,Samantha Cho,and Serenity Stapleton will have their drawings displayed with DGS artists at the Downers Grove South High School gallery space in the annual Winter Art Show.
Congratulations to these Lakeview 7th grade artists!
