NEW TERM! Portraits, group portraits and free choice projects

We started our new term last week with a look at drawing portraits using line and tone, reading our pictures and measuring for proportion.

This term we are having a go at portrait drawing, different styles, how to see better through careful measuring, how to use line to get the shapes right and tone to create the depth we need to turn a share into a 3D (implied) form. Watch the two short videos, look to the top right of this post, on LINE and FORM as two of the seven essential elements of art.

This is to be followed by a go at group portraits or trying something a not different if we have had enough of portraits!

The final four weeks will be for paintings of people's own choice.

Pictures will be posted to this blog after week two.

Here is the "model" we used in session one:
