week sixteen Art III...

The most riveting books, movies and play all have one thing in common - a little drama. The use a dramatic lighting in a work of art is also a great way to pull in the viewer. The Art III students will begin a black and white acrylic painting using the technique Chiarosuro. Their subject is a portrait. They will use a photograph that they took for reference. Artists known for this style include Carravagio and Giovanni Baglione.
