TONE introduction - 5 lessons suitable for KS2 or KS3

An introduction to the art of making tone, with a focus on defining what tone is, and how it can be made.

5 lessons, each with a homework, containing fun creative tasks exploring tone making using pencil, charcoal, the amazing artist Escher, and simple methods using shadows and directional light …

An ‘off the peg’ set of lessons that will get your pupils creating tone - that you can adapt and extend to suit you. I’ve included a tone and light worksheet, for pupils to print off and use - either in tonal pencil or in colour.

Literacy skills and evaluation are addressed, and pupils will finish the sequence of lessons with a good understanding of how to create and analyse tone - ending with an observational drawing to demonstrate their skills. this could easily be made an end of topic test.
