Today, KS1 started our project celebrating Harvest and fruit and vegetables. We set up 'Still Life' arrangements of pumpkins, peppers and aubergines to help our observation skills and drawing in sketchbooks. We used 2b and 6b pencils. Some children could express how they loved the darkness of the 6b and that they could smudge 6b lines with their fingers. 

We all concentrated really well to keep looking at the shapes and lines and textures of the fruit and veg.

Next week - colour with chalk pastels.

We are looking at artists from the Impressionist period such as Cezanne and Renoir.
