Art Skills cover- How to Draw Sweets

Drawing skills- Ideal for KS3 students exploring artists such as Sarah Graham, Sweets and confectionery. This easy set of slides can be printed for students to choose which photograph they want to study and draw.

Resources included:
Easy to use powerpoint slides
Printable worksheets
Easy-to-use teacher instructions- set up in minutes

Ideal for a non-specialist teaching room, which can be completed over 2-3 lessons. Students draw the grid on the empty box opposite, then start to carefully transcribe each box onto their own grid. Students can develop looking and recording skills through practicing their drawing. There is also scope for teaching blending skills, through using a range of coloured pencils and techniques to make the sweet packets appear realistic.
Resources needed:
Ruler
pencil
Coloured pencils

As with all my resources, this is tried and tested mainly with Year 9 students in Art and Design (Spring Term). This allows for them to develop ways of recording and colour theory, alongside a ceramic project when they can then apply these skills to painting.
