Logifaces and shading

    

ART/ The characteristics of art tools and visual impact


__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION LESSON 1 The students assemble a composition from Logifaces blocks Then as the first step they draw a line sketch of the composition focusing on forms, relationships and proportions. LESSON 2 They depict their piece of work with a strong side light, so that it projects intense shadows. They draw the compositions and its shadows in pencil. The students should observe how light creates different tones and how the drawing becomes 3D due to the shadows. LESSON 3 After using pencil hatching, cross-hatching, blending, smudging, stippling, dot effects, rhythmic lines, they can experiment with ink or charcoal or digital techniques.

Pick a black pencil and try to create as many shades as you can from lightest to darkest. How many shades could you create?
