Students have been learning about our artist of the month, Caravaggio, a master of shadowing! Throughout the month, attention was focused on the shadows we see everyday and how the presence of light creates those shadows. Students began to understand how the contrast between light and dartk (the resulting shadows) creates the perception of depth in two dimensional art.
In 2nd grade, students drew pumpkins and colored them, using shading, as though they were directly facing the light source. Notice the true pumpkin colors are only represented on the surface areas farthest from the center. Just look at the results...STUNNING!
