5th graders completed two drawings of a chair |
we began by drawing multiple views of a wooden chair |
students enjoyed trying out the "old school" method of using ink, dip pens, and brushes these negative space drawings were made with ink wells and brushes |
the positive space drawings were done with old-fashioned dip pens and ink wells, focusing on the visual texture of the wood grain |
we agreed that modern pens are much easier for portability and neatness... |
... but the old-fashioned materials provide a certain charm and style |
artists can use old technology/materials to create a vintage feel |
...or newer ones for a more modern style |
drips and splatters happen a lot when using ink wells |
very beautiful and timeless works |
What a great lesson in drawing from observation.
ReplyDeleteThe results are beautiful.
These are fantastic! I may be borrowing this for my high schoolers!
