Textural animals and interesting faces

This year the grade 10's have excelled in their understanding and interpretation of the Art
elements. They were tasked with completing a painting of their favourite animal, using
unusual media to illustrate texture. In the following lovely examples the students utilised
materials such as tinfoil, bubblewrap, seed pods, glue, string, wire and tissue with very
effective results. The following assignment was to complete a chalk and charcoal drawing of
an interesting face, focussing on only highlights and shadows. The level of effort and skill
shown by this years grade 10 Visual Arts students is truly commendable.
