Tone, shading and mark making

Do your students know about pencil grades, what they stand for, and how they can improve outcomes?

• This first worksheet teaches students about the different grades of pencil and asks them to demonstrate their learning by practicing shading techniques using pressure and a variety of pencils.
• The second worksheet (similar to the first) also introduces mark making and asks students to practice using mark making techniques to create tone.

There is one question on worksheet 1 - Answer:
Circled example uses pressure to create tone.
Other example uses crosshatching (mark making) to create tone.
Note - I have printed these worksheets onto cartridge paper (thin) A3 for students to draw directly onto and present in their books.
