Level 2
Perspective – Composition – Colour Theory
Level 2 is divided into 3 terms, each term has ten progressive lessons.
Term 1 focuses on exploring the basic principles of PERSPECTIVE. We will be exploring the use of single and double point perspective for landscape drawing. Starting with basic concepts of perspective we will develop to completing a complex painting using double point perspective. We will work using ‘Pen and Wash’. Different pen techniques, including using waterproof pens and white pens, will be taught through the term alongside developing watercolour skills. This term we will be introducing using watercolour tube paints and introduce several new watercolour techniques. Throughout the term we will be developing sketching skills working with pen.
Term 2 is all about COMPOSITION. We teach the importance of the ‘Rule of Third’ and about using value and intensity to highlight the Focal Point. This term we use Pastels, introducing this vibrant and popular medium and developing skills and techniques through the term. Drawing skill development will focus on drawing animals and using compositional techniques to think about shading.
Term 3 continues to develop knowledge of COLOUR THEORY and using value to dimensionalise shape. We will be working in ACRYLIC paints. This term puts together the skills developed over the previous 5 terms whilst exploring analogous colour theory. Drawing skills continue to be developed with weekly sketching exercises focused on searching for light and shadow to create a 3 dimensional form.
