Developing our Artist Eyes

 We have continued to practise our observation and sketching skills. We know that when learning something new mistakes are normal, so sketching is helping to notice our mistakes and use them to learn. We are practising being in The Learning Pit and persevering so we can see our artist eyes grow over time.

This week we have been sketching shells, leaves, seed pods and pine cones.







The sketching skills we have been practising are:

- Holding the pencil higher up than we would for writing. This helps us to draw the first lines lightly.

- Focusing on using lines we like to define our shape.

- Shading parts to add depth to the lines.
