Year 8 artists make their mark with charcoal

Since their return from remote learning, Year 8 Visual Arts students have been discovering the art of making marks with charcoal and learning the century-old technique of Chiaroscuro. This is a technique where artists create dramatic light and dark in a drawing. Our Year 8 artists looked at macro images in nature and successfully recreated these images in charcoal. Well done, everyone!
