Portraits!

We have been doing a lot of drawing, sketching each other, our teachers and even ourselves! 

The rules are simple:

• Use 1000 lines
• Keep a soft hand
• Draw what you see, not what you think you see or how you have drawn in the past
• Don't be careful!

We are enjoying the results.

We are going to have a go at painting members of our family next.  Ambitious? Why not!

Sketching - Gearing up for the Arts Celebration

 

We are gearing up for our Arts Celebration. As part of our Inquiry rotations, we are learning to sketch. In this session, we sketched people in lots of different ways. Some examples are that we used '1000 lines,' sketched with our non-dominant hand, sketched people upside down, we used different mediums and looked closely at people's faces. Ask us about this at home... 

Sketching in Wake up the Brain

Some students made a plan for our Sketching time in Wake Up the Brain. 

This week we have been sketching Locations. On Monday, we sketched a picture of Jabba's Palace from Star Wars. Our focus for the day, was to draw the cylindrical shapes how we SEE them, rather than what we think that they would look like. 

Check out our sketches!

We all wake up our brains differently and sketching is a place that is quiet and concentrated. Feel free to comment anything that you would like to see us sketch next!

Sketching to Wake up the Brain!

We have been sketching in the morning to wake up our brains!

The rules are: Keep your pencil moving, use a thousand lines, don’t think too hard, draw what you see (not what you think you see)

It’s very calm and it’s great fun!
