Using Charcoal to draw Spirals and Sunflowers!
Using Charcoal to draw Spirals and Sunflowers!
Hello My Most Amazing Artists. Today we will be experimenting with a new art material, Charcoal. This is the Charcoal we made in the outdoor classroom a few weeks ago. Charcoal is a bit crumbly and ours still looks like the small sticks which we filled our charcoal kiln with in the forest. Below are some examples of how to use the charcoal to create sipral forms which show depth. The shading helps to add perspective to our drawing. Don't be afraid to blend the charcoal with your finger, but you can use a tissue wrapped around your finger if you like.

Hello Amazing Artists! Please watch this Read Aloud Book. It is about the artwork of the artist Vincent Van Gogh. He loved nature and closely observing shapes and forms in nature. He also used a lot of swirls and spirals in his artwork. Closely look at his painting "The Starry Night". Imagine what it would be like to enter his painting. Then Draw a picture of what you could see inside his bright and swirling starry night.

Hello My Most Amazing Artists!
We are returning, and what better shape to explore than the spiral? It comes back around again, like the seasons of the year. Each time a little grown and a little changed. Listen to the read aloud Swirl by Swirl (written by Joyce Sidman and illustrated by Beth Krommes). Then watch my video and using a fine black marker create your own spiral design.

Here is another video which might give you some other ideas about how you want to fill your spiral.

This drawing shows up really well because the artist has used dark lines on a light background. In art we say this drawing has high Contrast. Can you find an image in your home or classroom that uses dark and light areas next to each other and also has high contrast?
