Shading Techniques & Value Scale

 
This week ARTkids wrapped up our very first week of our drawing and painting courses!
 
On Tuesday, our drawing students were definitely challenged with learning about outlines, shapes, and shading techniques.  Each student learned how to use shapes to create the human face and body, we also covered various shading techniques which each student adapted and nearly perfected to create their own character!
 
On Thursday, our painting students were introduced to color mixing and the value scale.  We asked each student to mix their own colors (after being given only black and white paint) and then to draw and paint a ball on a table, which each student did amazingly and in great variation!
