Seeing like an artist- we looked for shapes that would help us sketch objects.

Practising our shading techniques- pencil on its side, gentle pressure, same direction and no gaps

Using careful observation to notice small details when sketching. We looked for shape, texture and tone.

Allowing our imagination to flow describing and colouring flowers. We also gave opinions about other artist's work.

Comparing paper and pixels. We created a piece of art from a digital drawing and compared them, giving our opinions.

We have spent the afternoon outside on the field collecting different types of leaves. We then used them to create some gorgeous autumnal artwork. A lovely way to celebrate finishing our baseline tests! :)
