contour drawing of hand, with tattoos by Joel, age 10
|
In this three day mini camp, students focused on learning how to draw people. The first day they warmed up by doing a contour
drawing of their own hands, then they learned the basic proportions of the face from the front view and profile. The second day they
completed a worksheet demonstrating how to draw a variety of facial expressions. Then they posed for each other with props to
practice drawing the whole body. The artists worked hard to show tricky elements like bent elbows, overlapping props, and
foreshortened knees. (see below) The third day they played a game to inspire funny caricatures. Well done, everyone!
Three of the boys posed at once while the others drew.
