26. Different Drawings – KidsART
MAR 16 – 20 • Students learn about 2 important, yet different types of drawing: expressive work from memory, and more realistic work using observation. The main point is that these are both valid directions to take, but that they don’t tend to mix well in one piece of art. Other work involves layering oil pastels in a contest and then using the technique on an animal drawing they made earlier using observation.
