What makes a great drawing??

This is the question that year 7 students have leapt into their first term of Visual Arts with.

We have begun the term exploring formal drawing elements, the ingredients that make artists drawings powerful and interesting. Learning about tone, texture, line, shape and proportion students have produced fantastic art works that they can be really proud of.

Our Tonal Creatures project has been a highlight. Drawings of strange and wonderful creatures have become 3 dimensional before our eyes as students develop their tonal shading skills.
