Shading a Sphere and Drawing Forms and Solids

Grade 6 students have been learning how to draw 3-Dimensionally and have done a series of exercises to build on their fundamental drawing skills.  Students learned about Value and how to blend their pencils to create a sphere that looks 3-Dimensional on a flat piece of paper. We learned about looking at light and the importance of highlights and shadows.

Next, students learned how to draw a cylinder and the basics of drawing in One-Point Perspective and practiced techniques demonstrated in class in their sketchbooks.
