Today we had our first art 'masterclass' from Graham McKenzie-Smith. Graham is a local artist and photographer. He is also the father of Katherine, in P2. You can learn more about Graham and his art by visiting his website.
We asked Graham to come along and run two sessions for us, the first, this week was on observational drawing tips and techniques.
we began by doing some quick sketches and then learned about drawing what we see and not what we know is there. We also looked at scale and ways of filling the space. Graham told us how to break complicated objects down into basic shapes to help our drawing. The difference in our drawing from the start to the end of the session was impressive. Next week we will be looking at painting techniques.
this was great fun!
