Today we started our art case study where we explored and used a range of sketching techniques. First we looked at and used different sketching pencils thinking about tone and how different pencils do this. We then explored tone further by thinking about the pressure we apply to our pencil. After this we looked at 7 different sketching techniques and had a go at practising these. From he we researched the artist Edgar Degas, thinking about the type of artist he is and the different pieces of art he created. The final part of the lesson allowed us to apply all the features we had learnt to a Edgar Degas image. We tried to use some of the techniques we had practised earlier in the lesson.
