Grade 8 - January 31 - February 11, 2011







Mark making, controlling the pencil, exploring a variety of draw materials and media! We have completed our tonal renderings of stuffed animals, experimented with charcoal and used sharpie pens to draw still life and landscape. We started our first color experiments by photocopying the landscape and using pastel, marker or colored pencil to add color to the compositions. Next week Sumi-e painting – controlling the brush, using Sumi-e ink. Following the principles of this ancient Chinese and Japanese tradition will be the foundation for using the brush with all painting mediums and techniques.
