The Importance of Drawing Excercises

The fourth grade students are beginning a unit on drawing from observation.

We discussed the importance of carefully observing the object being drawing instead of drawing "stereotyped" images of objects. In order to prepare themselves for the final still life drawing, the students completed three drawing excercises:
1. contour drawing from observation
2. blind contour drawing from observation
3. value scale

Final still life drawings will be posted soon!
