Drawing Club2 October 2024 (by admin) |
Last week Voyagers and Discoverers started our Drawing Club.
In our first session, we explored continuous line drawing. This technique is an excellent way to help us develop hand and eye coordination. We learned how to keep the pen or pencil in contact with the paper for the duration of the exercise, and by matching speed of looking with speed of drawing. It was a very calm and focused activity!
This week, we used the ‘backwards forwards’ drawing technique, using soft B pencils. In backwards forwards sketching the hand and eye has to check and check again each line as it is formed, helping to ensure the lines are intentional. It was quite
challenging to keep looking at the subject matter, as well as the drawing itself.
It has been a great start and the children have produced some very impressive pieces of art.
