Term 1 in the Art Room
Sketching was our focus in the Art Room throughout Term 1. Why sketching? Whilst sketching allows us to use something as simple and readily available as a pencil to have fun and relax, it is also an important part of artistic development. Throughout the term the students explored pencil sketching techniques, kept a sketchbook and used a variety of sketching mediums, various pencil techniques and skills associated with illustrating. From drawing simple shapes to shading, forshortening and using tone and form in their artwork, the students had a great deal of fun.
Drawing is a really great way to:
1. think through ideas
2. see and understand the world around us
3. communicate with each other
4. solve problems
5. and improve our work
Drawing rocks!
