This week the 8th grade artists have begun their object rendering drawings. Currently, students have completed a value scale with a full range of values from dark to light. Also, students have begun a preliminary layout of their magazine photo. The goal in this assignment is the representation of two or more textures on a two-dimensional surface.
In the area of art history, we will study the life and work of the Baroque artist of the 17th-18th century named Caravaggio,who was a master of light and shadow.
In the area of community involvement,some Lakeview students have begun to prepare their artwork for the annual Darien Women's Club Art Contest. This art contest is open to any 6th,7th,or 8th grade student. Both 2-D and 3-D works of art can be entered in this exciting community art show.
