Portraits

How proud was I today? Very! These are a few of the artworks completed today. What amazing artists you all are!

Sketching Skills

We learned all about sketching today. We practised hatching, cross-hatching, contour hatching, random hatching, scumbling, stippling, and lots of different ways to shade (point and flat shading, shading areas, irregular and circular shading, directional shading, contour and perspective shading and using line weight in shading). We then began learning about sketching portraits. We watched the You Tube video below and used the skills and techniques shown. We did a portrait and we were very pleased with our first attempts. Tomorrow we will begin sketching a friend using the same techniques and skills.



Shenee loved sketching! She did so well. We were all proud of her.

Sketching

This week we are sketching. We will learn about the basic techniques (eg different ways to hold a pencil) on Monday and then practise the sketching skills on a grid so that we have a template of ideas to use on our artwork. We will also look at proportion. Our theme will be 'Sketch a Friend's Face'.Watch these You Tube videos.
