I have been teaching for 12 years in both state and independent schools. Prior to this I specialised and worked in the fashion and interior design industries. I use a variety of mediums in my own work, and specialise in printmaking, portraiture, and graphic design. I'm always looking to learn new skills and recently finished a course in woodwork furniture design, which I loved! I have always enjoyed creating useful and beautiful resources for students and so think it is time I share them.

Tone, shading and mark making

(0)
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.
