Landscape Drawing: Making Marks and Value


We examined the drawings of Vincent Van Gogh and studied the variety of lines, values and textures in his compositions. His drawings have an amazing range of marks that are alive with rhythm, repetition and movement.


Next, students had a mini lesson in how to create a value scale, as well as how to blend and shade with their graphite pencils. Students created their own value scales and learned how to see shadow and light by drawing a sphere and shading in the object according to the light source.
