Whole lot of creative energy flowing from the Highland School art room lately! We worked on study sketches showing the roundness and contours of veggies and various objects, while aiming for accurate proportions. And we got into using large format paper and charcoal while studying texture, light, and shadows. Students are also working on their own projects, such as Matt (shown above), inking the final touches on his custom skate deck.
Contour drawings of pumpkins by Kayla (upper left), Shaylah (upper right), Koa (lower left), and Emily (lower right)
Students also used positive/negative space along with lighter and darker tonal values to draw an aloe plant. Upper left is Mark's study sketch; upper right is Sara's study; lower left is Joe's tonal drawing; and lower right is Emily's final sketch.
Above left is Gabriella's study of the texture of corn and a pumpkin. Above right is Sage's 2-point perspective drawing of buildings.
