It is officially Spring, but, where I live, it snowed last night, lol.
Nonetheless, time to start all the spring themed projects to brighten our mood after a long winter.
This is a simple observational drawing lesson where students experimented with different drawing media while drawing an artificial tulip from direct observation.
I demonstrated the qualities of each media. I offered students: felt tip black marker, vine charcoal, charcoal pencils, compressed charcoal and conté.
Marker was, by far, the most popular choice. My students hate getting messy!
Students chose a tulip and then drew it onto long strips of newsprint I had pre-cut.
I wanted the drawings life size.
A simple but effective drawing exercise. These were all done by beginner students in Grade 8.
