Observational work

Over the next two weeks you are
going to produce at least one A2
observational board (ideally
two) using your chosen
photographs to work from. This
will pick up marks for ‘A03’. If
you link your drawings to Artists
you can also pick up marks for
‘A01’ and if you experiment with
different medias you can pick up
marks for ‘A02’!
You need to produce at least
1x A2/A3 drawing + a series of A4/A5
drawings (further drawings to fill the
board maybe needed see ‘Extra
drawing’ ideas)
Monday13th March

With guidance from your
teacher decide which media(s)
are going to work best for your
theme and your style of
working. There are some ideas
over the next slides to help you
decide. You need to show skill
and detail in the work you
produce!

Continuous Line
Drawing
Materials
Use a combination of B, 2B, 3B and
4B pencils, graphite sticks, biros, fineliners etc…
Subject
A Single object
Look carefully at your object(s)/photo in front of you.
With a pencil create a line drawing of it. Do NOT take
your pen off the page for the whole drawing!

Two Pencils
Materials
Use a combination of B, 2B, 3B and
4B pencils, graphite sticks, biros, fineliners etc…
Subject
A Single object
By using two pencils bound together, you
will produce a range of dense and
sometimes unpredictable marks that will
provide you with a surface to adjust,
restructure, and work, both with and
against. This drawing provides you with
the opportunity to start by making marks
inside the form, and there by breaking the
habit of using line to draw the outer
contour edge first.
