Weeks 7,8,9: Abstract Drawing, Cross-Hatching

As the Success Sketchers draw down the home strech, and head toward the final weeks of school, everyone is focused on learning new skills and selecting work for the Student Show. Learning cross-hatching and stipple drawing techniques was challenging fun for students and teachers.

Antonio



Amazing abstract composition, man!!!! The control of your line work REALLY shows in your wonderful abstract drawing as well as your cross-hatching sketches. Look forward to seeing your choices of work for the Student Show.

Darrian




When you're focused you REALLY excel in drawing, Darrian!!! You used lines, shapes, and patterns (like the Kandinsky artwork) to create an exquisite abstract composition! Your invented drawing of the guy behind the fence is very well drawn--good thing it's copyrighted. :-) What will your imagination come up with for the Student Show?

Marcial



Alright, Marcial!!!! Your skills are improving in leaps and bounds! GREAT start with the cross-hatching drawing showing the form of the fox! Great eye for the contour edges and proportions of its body. Hope you can finish it for the Student Show. Really nice use of angled lines in your cubist (with reference to the artist Georges Braque) abstract drawing.

Dezmen



Dezmen, I think you've found your style of drawing--abstract!! Using the art abstract artist Kandinsky as a reference you put together a wonderful composition (how elements are arranged on the page). Nice use of lines, shapes, and patterns.
