YEAR 4 TRIPTYCH AUSTRALIAN SEEDPODS

Year 4 has been creating their own version of a triptych.  A triptych is a set of three panels side by side.  The photographs in this post show three types of art along the same theme but I have not photographed the students work as individual triptychs, instead the collective triptychs consist of 

1. A pencil observation drawing, making use of a paper stump 

2. A painting using tint - adding white to a colour and shade - adding black to a colour

3. A black pen drawing using line to denote dimension, light and shade.

The students initially used a viewfinder to draw their focus to a small area of a seed pod and drew this in their visual art diaries.  By practicing this discipline, they were able to focus on form, shape, tone, shade and texture.  I think they have produced amazing artwork, I am so proud of their efforts.
