The first two months of the school year consisted of an introduction to drawing – observational drawing with shapes, drawing outdoors, drawing textured objects and 1-point perspective. We discussed line quality and pressure, while working with various numbered h-hb pencils and charcoal (subtractive drawing). With tone and gradient on our minds, we then moved to color. We started with the color wheel and primary-secondary colors, followed by tints, shades, hue, and warm and cool color tones.
I loved how visuals from previous assignments keep making an appearance in my students’ work. Many students incorporated 1-point perspective while creating new works.Â
