Drawing from Life
This last Saturday students in Alice Hill’s Drawing Studio learned about volume and shading. Alice set up a still life with strong directional light so that her students could understand how light falls on an object, and how to render that object using lights, darks, and middle greys.
The children in her class did a wonderful job transferring what they saw in reality to the pages of their sketchbooks. Afterwords, Alice had students apply the skills that they had just learned to a more complex still-life with a variety of objects, both simple and intricate, including animal and human skulls, cups, books, and two small crows. We think the kids did a great job this week! What do you think?
