The 8th graders are returning to the Art Department for another year and we have added new faces to the class as well. I am always excited to have my return students and equally excited to meet my new 8th graders!
The eighth grade art program begins with a review of the elements and principles of design. The program will include a study of 20th century abstract art. The photography component will include the history of photography as well as an investigation of important photographers. Students will explore black and white photography using a variety of techniques.
Students have taken notes on Giorgio Morandi, one of the greatest 20th-century masters of still-life and landscape painting. Students drew looking at a still-life. Students had to duplicate a smaller section of their drawing onto a smaller sheet of drawing paper. Students watched as I demonstrated how to use indian ink, ink pen, and create hatching marks using value. Students will complete a 9×12 final still-life using red hatching ink and a 4×6 section of the final using black hatching ink.
