Week 7
This week we had an substitute for Ms Naylor as she was away. MS GREW! I had her last year when we were doing the Vanitas drawings. She taught us how to use the scratchboards. Basically, what we had to do was to crosshatch with a scalpel on a piece of special black paper in whatever object you are drawing. The catch is that if some bits are black/dark or shadowy, you don’t scratch it out as the paper is black! My first attempt was very poor however I improved slightly on my second one. And this is what it looked like:
It was supposed to look like a little boy smiling. Apparently we are going to be working on these later on, so I hope I will improve by then . It was a very relaxing lesson in a way that the art assignment was out of the way.
