For the last few weeks in Art we have been practising pencil drawings. We began by looking at examples of drawings and examining how shade and shadow are used to create a 3D effect. We then practised drawing spheres using the techniques studied to create depth.
Our next lesson was to draw an apple and a bottle from observation. As we were drawing, we used torches to shine a light on our objects to help us with our shading and to show us the location of the shadows.
In the following lesson we used the skills learned to draw a picture of our shoe. We also drew the human eye using appropriate shading and shadow. The results of our lessons will be on display on the noticeboard outside our classroom for the next few weeks.
