After learning about the spread of Islam in other subjects and visiting the Blue Mosque in Tetovo, as an addition to their knowledge students from Level 13 in art class are learning about the old-fashion technique of painting with pigments and egg yolk. Egg tempera is an ancient medium and it has been used in Ancient Egypt, Italian Renaissance, Byzantine Art, Islamic art… It is extremely permanent and does not darken with ages. It can be used in fresco painting (painting on a fresh plaster over a wall surface) or it can be used on a wooden surface as students from Level 13 will. Can you just imagine how many eggs were being used to decorate the walls of the Blue Mosque in Tetovo?
And now finally the complex geometric designs are done so the artworks now beautify the school's cafeteria.
