next 2 weeks for your project that will enhance your AO3 score and can be mounted with your other

Your additional drawings have already been planned roughly with you during previous tutorials (see target lists) – so you should know

what to do – but if not then please email your Art teacher for further guidance

You will need to consider the following before starting work on your additional drawings:

 Images to work from - these may be your own or others’

photographs and need to link to your theme and project aims

 Surfaces to work on (white or brown paper / watercolour etc)  Media in which you wish to work (select the media you are most

skilled in)

Look through the following slides for some more guidance, examples and inspiration

YEAR 12 – ADDITIONAL DRAWINGS

following:

 1 x board with pencil drawing / other media  1 x board of charcoal drawing/other media

OBSERVATIONAL DRAWINGS

OBSERVATIONAL DRAWINGS

These are two boards I have ‘mocked up’ on the theme of ‘underwater’ – one in pencil and other media, the other shows a

range of charcoal studies

You should have completed by now your A2 Pencil drawing and your A2 charcoal study – so now we’d like you to start completing some smaller studies

Mostly you should be working from your own photographs – but you may work some of your smaller additional drawings from photos that you’ve found online. Please don’t work from

other people’s drawings though!

Consider the following when selecting which imagery to use:

 Using enlarged, focussed sections rather than the whole

photo (close-ups)

 Using a range of your photos – so as not to be too

repetitive

 Make sure the images you are working from are good

quality and sharp so you can attain detail

 Consider editing your image to B&W so that you can

analyse tonal values more accurately

YEAR 12 – ADDITIONAL DRAWINGS

It’s up to you what kind of surface you wish to work on and may also depend upon which media you choose to work in

Options may include:

 White cartridge paper  Brown or colour paper

 Collaged papers

 Newspaper or wallpaper  Lined paper

 Paper pre-prepared with watercolour

When making these decisions please consider the following:

 What your drawings will look like as a group  Providing some variety in your drawing work

 Any possible links to artists you have studied and to your theme

YEAR 12 – ADDITIONAL DRAWINGS

Use whichever media you feel most confident with – but if all of your studies are going to be in the same media then

consider working on some different surfaces

Media to consider:  Pencil / Graphite  Charcoal  Biro / Pen  Colour fineliner  Colouring pencil  Watercolour

When making these decisions please consider the following:

 What your drawings will look like as a group  Providing some variety in your drawing work

 Any possible links to artists you have studied and to your theme

YEAR 12 – ADDITIONAL DRAWINGS

We would like you to email your Art teacher a high quality image (JPEG)

of your SECOND additional drawing by the end of next week please
