Learning Outcomes

• Look at their drawn work in different ways.
• Learn how to use a wider variety of media to create their work and rely less on the standard use of drawing pencil and coloured pencil.
• Create forms that are relevant to their starting point observational drawings.
• To be able to simplify from their observational drawings to just focus on the form and not surface, details or colour.

Materials and Equipment

Drawing pencils - only to be used in a support role, not as the main media for the work
Black outliner pens

White pencils

White paper, brown paper, coloured sugar papers
Plasticine

Card
Scissors

Craft knives

Glue

Eva foam sheets

Found media (for example -flax leaves, cellophane sheet etc)

Observational drawings in pencil and various media.
Look at these drawings as a base to find forms to use.

Methods used :-

• Make the forms in 3D with plasticine. Focus on just the form with no surface texture or decoration or details.
• Use card to simplify the form in 3D - or part of the form.
• Photograph the 3D built elements and print out the photographs.
• Draw from the photographs using a variety of media and papers.
