Art - Sketching Techniques and Pencil Skills20 June 2025 (by admin) |
This week in Art, we explored a range of sketching techniques and experimented with different pencil grades to understand how they can be used to create texture, tone, and detail in our drawings.
We looked closely at how the way we hold a pencil can change the effect we achieve on paper. By trying out different grips, we discovered how each one can help us draw with greater control or freedom, depending on what we want to create. We practised these techniques before moving on to our independent sketches. Together, we looked at elements of nature—such as leaves, twigs, and clouds—and discussed how to sketch each one effectively, in preparation for our upcoming multi-media project.
