Art workshop

On the 15th of February we had an art workshop at school. Jane Lloyd who is an artist working for Graham Braddock Art Workshops took our class and two other classes in the syndicate for a lesson on how to do pencil portraits. We looked at how to position features on a face and how to observe a photo carefully to gain accuracy in our drawing of a face. Jane taught the skills of shading and how to draw each feature of a face. Most students were very pleased with their drawings and there was a good likeness to the Phoenix player Mark Paston. We have developed our skills further by sketching our own faces using large black and white photocopies of photos of ourselves. Click on view all images below to see some photos of this work.
