We continue to explore how to give drawings the illusion of being 3D. The students applied their knowledge of value, light, and shading to make these amazing drawings. Have a look at some excellent examples of 3D art.
Art: creating landscapes
Grade 4 students have been exploring how lines can create art. A great example of their application of line is the amazing landscapes that they designed. Take a virtual walk through our art gallery.
