Week 3 kicked off the first Art Club for 2017. The budding young artists were keen to explore new experimental methods of working using charcoal and chalk. The grizzly bear was the perfect choice for the artists to explore a full range of mark making techniques. After watching a demonstration, the artists learnt how to first apply dark shadows by working confidently within an image. This challenging way of working resulted in a range of impressive tonal studies. The boys will be developing new skills each week, selecting one of their final artworks to be submitted to the Shaun Tan Award for Young Artists.
