Still-Life Drawing unit comes to a close




This week students have finalized their still-life drawing and are preparing them for display.

As we close our unit on the study of the still-life, students will be introduced to the area of scratchboard drawing which is based on the concept of engraving and etching as in printmaking.

In this new unit students will build on their knowledge of realism,geometric solids,shading and the elements and principles of art. Students will use line to show form and texture in their exciting scratchboard work which will be based on inspiration photos from nature,animals,wildlife and landscapes.
