Rembrandt van Rijn was a Dutch painter and printmaker. Born in 1606, he is widely considered one of the greatest artists of all time. Rembrandt was a master of light and shadow, and his works are characterized by their use of dramatic lighting and strong, emotional compositions. He was known for his portraits, landscapes, and biblical scenes, which often convey a sense of realism, intimacy, and psychological depth. Rembrandt was a prolific artist, producing hundreds of paintings, etchings, and drawings over the course of his career.
Despite his fame and success, he lived much of his life in relative poverty, and his works often reflect his struggles with personal and financial hardships. Today, Rembrandt's works can be found in major museums around the world, and he remains one of the most famous and beloved artists of all time.
With the aid of a flashlight, the children will understand Rembrandt van Rijn’s special technique of painting highlights and shadow. This special “Rembrandt Lighting” was carried over to their own artwork in special Dutch landscapes…and windmills! Be sure to click through the student masterpieces at the top of this page.
On behalf of all the teachers and students of dePortola Elementary School, I’d like to commend you for providing an outstanding first year of Meet the Masters for our school. The quality of your program is excellent. The teachers felt their students truly learned to recognize the works and styles of the great masters that they were introduced to. We appreciated the variety of classroom art projects presented.
Our lecturer was well liked by teachers and students. She is professional and responsive to each age group of students. I also found her to be excellent as our coordinator and workshop presenter. We felt very fortunate that she was with us.
Our principal has also been enthusiastic and supportive of the Meet the Masters program. We both will always be pleased to recommend your program to other elementary schools.
