Room 5's Awesome Artists! By Callum Hill

In Room 5 this last week, Miss Harley our Student Teacher has taught us how to sketch apples.  

First we drew a whole apple then we copied the inside of an apple.  We had to learn about highlighting, cross-hatching, back-shading, shading objects, shadow and contour lines. 

We started by making a circle but we had to go round fast three times.  Then we drew lines on each side like a cup to get the 'v' shape of the apple.  Next, we did the bumps on the bottom and the top.  

If our apple had a stalk we could draw it.  We did highlights and shadows next.  Finally we shaded and cross-hatched using different parts of our sketching pencils and charcoal.

Here are some examples of our work...

  1. Wow what awesome drawings. I see some very talented artists here. Hope you are all practising your songs for the concert. I'm sure it will be a fantastic night.

  2. Hi Room 5,
    What great artists you are. Sounds like you are learning a lot about drawing with Miss Harley. Your apples show the range of techniques Miss Harley has shown you - great to see you applying and choosing what you think will work.
