PORTRAITS. 5è primària

The students of 5è drew a portrait of one of their classmates.

They had to be very concentrated to make the portrait as close as possible to reality. They worked in pairs. The model had to be calm and relaxed because his partner had to observe every detail of the face very carefully. When they finished, the model turned into a painter and vice versa.

The results were very satisfactory. Do you like them?

CHIAROSCURO PORTRAITS. 3rd ESO

After some weeks practising the Chiaroscuro Technique with geometric figures and still lives, it's time to try  using it in faces and portraits.
One of the main issues in portrait drawing is how to mantain proportions. Here you have an excellent website called "How to draw a head".  It will be our guide to get our goal.

Activity:

Choose a celebrity you would like to draw.  Find a black and white picture of his or her head and try to draw it following the instructions you've seen in the website.  After drawing, colour it using the Chiaroscuro Technique.

Good luck!

LANDSCAPE USING LINES. 2nd ESO

We started working "Basic elements of visual language" drawing and painting with dots.  Now it's time to use lines as main elements in a composition.

In this link you'll find the powerpoint we've been working with.

ACTIVITY: LANDSCAPE USING LINES

Draw and colour a landscape using different kinds of lines (wavy, straight, horizontal, curved...).  Try to give the composition a sensation of depht, tracing thicker or thinner lines depending on their distance.  If the part of the landscape that you want to represent is closer, use a thicker line than if it's farther.

Material required:

•  Coloured pencils and felt-tipped pens
• Set square, ruler.
• DIN A4 cardboard with 2cm frame.

You can get inspired by these compositions made by other students (taken from the blog plasticaeso)

CREATING OPTICAL ILLUSIONS - RESULTANT PICTURES. 1st ESO

Finally I've been able to upload the pictures that 1st ESO students took to creat optical illusions. Here they are:

SCARY BATS

We made these scary bats for Halloween. It was just a cutting and sticking activity, but the result
was amazing.

GRAFFITIS

We have been studying graffitis. We went around Torelló looking for graffitis and observing them. Then we listed out all the characteristics they have in common. Finally, every student drew  its own graffiti.We enjoyed it a lot.

Here you are, the graffitis and graffiters pictures.
