Students are required to do value shading on their skeleton or mannequin drawings, so today we practiced how to use the shading pencils and get gradual changes from dark to light. Below is a guide for how to shade, a shading in progress, and a completed shading sheet.
Students have begun creating thumbnail sketches for their mannequin/skeleton composition. They will use view finders to crop in on an interesting part of the mannequin or skeleton to help draw accurate contours. They will then add shading using various drawing pencils. Finally, students will create a choice of backgrounds using either watercolor techniques or bubble printmaking to create interest in the negative space.
One of my favorite days in art yet this year! We had a blast making great backgrounds for our skeleton drawings out of tinted bubbles!
Students are beginning thumbnails of their next project which will be of a value drawing of their choice of a skeleton or mannequin. Students will have to create accurate and proportionate contours of their skeleton or mannequin using a viewfinder to crop in on their composition. They will then add value shading to the skeleton or mannequin based on the lighting in class. |
