Grade 4 Value: The infinite between BLACK and WHITE.

Hello world! We are grade 4 art students working on observational drawing. Realism is challenging but we have a few tricks up our sleeves! Through drawing geometrical forms (deconstruction) and then joining the forms with contour lines, we can execute realistic drawings. Shading has been challenging, but we have learned to hold our soft lead pencils gently while we practice wrist movement that helps us control the pressure we put on our drawing paper. Who would have though that holding a pencil required the same mindfulness as holding the bow of a violin? Direction, gentleness and control. That is the key to success!
