Week 7: February 21, 2020

Photo print, pencil drawing (grid erased), and line drawing for watercolor pencil

On Friday, we used grids on our  photo prints and our sketchbooks to make a pencil drawing and a line drawing to color with watercolor pencils next Week 8. Grids are a technique often used by muralists to enlarge small drawings onto large walls.

Muralists use grids for several reasons: to involve community members with little or no drawing experience and to make efficient scaled drawings avoiding waste of time and materials.

This week, we began artist presentations on painters and public artists. The blog post for this week is to write about one artist presented by your classmates which you found interesting or somehow attracted your attention.
