Sketches and Shading

Today we talked about making things realistic and practiced using shading and grounding the figures that we drew. We also talked about creating thumbnail sketches prior to creating a final work of art.

At first, we practiced drawing simple objects that we found throughout the classroom. Then, we went outside and drew the nature in the courtyard. After shading our drawings, we used colored chalk to add some interest to the compositions. Some are not finished, but so far they are looking really good!
