One of the highlights was having artist Graham Braddock coming to teach us about line drawings.
First, we listened carefully while Mr Braddock explained about perspective, shape and line quality. Then we sketched the lines of the picture, while he talked us through each stage.
Once we had finished drawing, we showed each other our pencil sketch. We were amazed at how good we were at pencil sketching, once we knew the steps to take!
We then started using vivid to go over our lines. Mr Braddock taught us about positive and negative spaces and using the vivid to create the effect we wanted.
Next, we shared our finished line drawings. We were so proud of ourselves!
Finally, Mr Braddock showed us how to use dye to enhance our work. We are going to have a try at dyeing our own work in class.
This was Mr Braddock's finished picture - we hope ours look as amazing! We are sure they will.
Fantastic sketching Room 6! Where are you going to hang all this wonderful art work? I will pop in to see it.
