ADVANCED: How to Draw an Excavator: Step by Step

Upper School students: the link to Circle Line Art School under "Other sites to explore" is a tool for more advanced drawing. Learning to being able to SEE what you're drawing is critical. Instead of thinking "yikes, that's too complicated", this artist just drew the excavator, patiently, bit by bit. Being able to control your pencil pressure (draw light until it's right) is also helpful because then you can adjust, erase, and create values with ease. For the rest of us, this drawing is just impressive. Enjoy!

Kindergarten aerial perspectives - lesson and terminology

Students reviewed "horizon line" from their previous assignment, and added "foreground", "middle ground", and "background" to their terminology. Students demonstrated knowledge of aerial perspective by lightening the "hue" to "tint" by adding white and placing smallest objects closest to the horizon line to create the illusion of depth. AND... they're adorable.

Kindergarten's 1st assignment!

First we learned about "horizon line" "vanishing point" and the idea that objects appear smaller when further away. Then we applied it to our farm drawings! These were a mixed media, a crayon water color resist. Here are some of the first completed works!
