Sculpture Studies Exhibition

 

"Sculpture Studies" is an exhibition of the first project of the students of Studio Art: Drawing. Having studied the lighting effects used by artists such as Caravaggio, Vermeer, and Rembrandt, each student has made a charcoal study of a sculpture from art history. Take a look at these ambitious drawings on the walls between the 3rd floor exit door and the staircase. As well, there is a face made up of the facial features of four different students exhibited in the front display case by the main entrance. Each student made a charcoal drawing of their eye, nose or mouth after carefully observing all of the minute details using a mirror. Congratulations, art students, for your marvellous observation and drawing skills!
