This week the 8th grade artists continued working on their object renderings. Students have used a value scale and have tried to indicate the illusion of photgraphic realism in their work.
We have also explored the life and work of two realistic artists named Rembrandt and Caravaggio and their dramatic use of light and shadow in their paintings and drawings.
In the area of community news there is another new exciting art contest open to Lakeview 7th and 8th grade artists.
The Downers Grove Junior Women's Club is sponsoring its annual Jr.High Art Contest which is open to only 7th grade and 8th grade students in District 66 and District 58.
