This week the 6th grade artists continued to work on their One- Point Perspective multi-colored drawings. Students have created a cube with the use of a vanishing point,orthagonals,a light source and a sense of dimension through value and shading.
In addition,students have studied the life and work of the Renaissance artist named Leondardo da Vinci who invented linear perspective and the use of light and shadow in his paintings and drawings. Students have viewed the many artistic creations and amazing inventions of this visionary artist and inventor of the Renaissance Period of Art in Italy.
