About this School Project (Blended Fall Trees)
In this project, artists will embark on a journey to understand the fundamental elements of landscape drawing, focusing on key techniques that enhance their artistic expression. Artists will begin by learning what constitutes a landscape drawing. This includes recognizing the horizon line, which serves as a crucial element separating the sky from the ground. Through engaging discussions and demonstrations, participants will grasp how this line not only defines space but also sets the stage for the overall composition.
Next, artists will explore how to draw trees using basic shapes, such as ovals for canopies and the letters "Y" and "V" for trunks and branches. This approach simplifies the drawing process, allowing artists to focus on the structure of trees without becoming overwhelmed. By practicing these techniques, artists will gain confidence in rendering natural forms. Artists will focus on how overlapping shapes can create a sense of depth in a landscape.
Artists worked on improving coloring skills using crayons and learned to be mindful in their mark-making, exploring different pressure techniques to achieve varying shades. They discovered how to blend colors to create new hues, fostering a deeper understanding of color theory.
Finally, artists will experiment with capturing the vibrant colors of fall by blending different crayons together.
