I posted this artworks on 10th December, 2019 and all Instructions can be found in that post. Its been a while since I presented to students. I did this again with a Year 3/4 class and they really enjoyed it, especially learning how to use different media and material. Well done to the students in Year 3/4 at Windsor Park Public, NSW, Australia.  

STUDENT ARTWORKS - DRAWING DRAWINGS - Watercolour Mixed Media Artwork

  I posted this artwork on June 1st, 2021 and it has had an instant reaction from everyone. Thank you for all of your encouraging words, I appreciate it. Anyway, I presented this artwork to a Year 5/6 class and they were engaged from start to finish. They did a fantastic job with following the tutorials and in making their dragons their own. Here are their artworks. I hope you like them. I love them all. There was one slight variation to the Instructions. I had students add a randomly drawn outline to further define their image after they applied some lead pencil shading. This first artwork was not created by me. It is the work of a incredibly talented young lady who I think has no comprehension of her wonderful her drawing and artistic skills. She did all of it without any of help from me. I just let her go. Its a beautiful artwork. Well done to all the students in Year 5/6 Murray at Windsor Park Public, NSW, Australia.....

These little guys are only 6 and 7 years old. I am so proud of what they have done. They responded so well to the directed drawing component. Following are the Instruction for the drawing task. 1. Once the student have completed the lion drawing, they need to go over the drawing with a black marker. 2. Students then need to draw lines on the face to create shapes. There should not be an abundance of shapes as this will make it hard to see the lion head and features later on. 3. With a black maker, students need to draw lines from the egde of the lion's mane to the edge of there paper. NOTE: I used thin white ticket board as it has more strength than the usual drawing litho paper. 4. Students now use Sharpie coloured markers and fill in ALL the shapes in the artwork. This is the longest part of creating the artworks and it depends on the dexterity student as to how long it takes. My little Year 1/2 guys took about 2 hours. 5. When all the shapes are filled in, students add in patter
