We're still plodding along on our grid drawings. . .Later this week (if we finish early) we will begin our first clay project. . . Here is a peek of what we've been doing so far! Hey VA Comp-ers! Check out the fast-forward of an artist drawing a portrait on a grid. I love his technique of using paper to block out everything except for the grid-square he is observing; that's a pretty helpful thing to do. Ooooh get ready for a tough week! This week, we will be making realistic pencil drawings of ourselves. Whew! It's gonna be hard, but I know you're gonna do a great job!!! We will be relying on value to make our drawings look realistic. You can learn more about value below.
