Fruit and Vegetable Printing

Pupils' work

Colour pencil techniques

Pencil strokes
Children are encouraged to keep their colour pencil strokes in the same direction. In the above example, this child has strokes of different directions.


Blending
Children can experiment with building up layers of different colours to make their artwork more interesting.


Shadow
They can include light and dark components in their artwork by applying heavier pressure. 


Sharpening
Minimize sharpening by rolling the colour pencil in your hand every few strokes for a new sharp pencil point.

The Basic

There are occasions when children forgot to write their names, class, date and title before beginning their art work. Therefore, it is habit for me to request them to write these down before I begin my instructions. These are samples of pupils' good work:

Very neat & tidy. 

This is acceptable too.
