Art

This week in art, we will be developing our sketching skills. Using the posters provided below, I would like you to have a go at sketching Roman soldiers in motion. Follow the link below to help you. Think about the different angles that you can create, and the shading techniques that you can adopt. When you have done this, I’d like you to annotate each of your drawings, reflecting on what worked well, what you would develop, and how you created different shades and tones using your pencils. As a bonus task, why not have a go at creating one example made from a different media such as paint, colouring pencils, crayons etc.
