LO: Speedy still life sketching

I want Art Club students to realise that ANYTHING can be used as a subject matter in art!

Every child has been given their own sketchpad and they need to make use of it at home and sketch away! The more they practice, the better their drawing skills will be.

For todays lesson I brought in a few little bits and pieces from my home, things from inside my bag and items I found in the room we were using. These objects were going to be the focus of the still life drawing lesson.

Every child had an object and the challenge was to draw that object anywhere on their A3 white paper.

They only had 3 minutes to complete their sketch. When the 3 minutes were up they had to pass the object to the person on their left. There were 6 objects on each table to draw.

Once completed they could rework some of their designs on the A3 paper, or focus on one new design on A4 paper.

Art students were only allowed to use a HB sketching pencil. They were encouraged to press light for a soft, smooth, light shade and press harder for details and a darker tone.

Check out the final sketches... I'm amazed! These kids have so much talent!
