Art 1 students have finally gotten past boot camp and practice activities and have been working on creating drawings for our first unit theme of "Light". Each class, through the use of an online program called Padlet, we were able to brainstorm different ways light can be defined and how you can create images to go with an interpretation.
Students practiced with different techniques of creating value, such as shading, hatching and pointillism. They also learned about charcoal, scratchboard, and drawing with white on black paper. Students are allowed to decide how they want to interpret light and how they want to show that interpretation. This is leading to a variety of artwork that the students are happy with and interested in drawing. I look forward to the final pieces.
