Year 2 – Art

In art this half term we have been exploring the use of sketching. Our focus artist has been Leonardo Da Vinci and we learnt about his life and artwork as well as discussing what we liked and disliked about his sketches and art. Also we have learnt different sketching techniques, such as cross-hatching, stippling, scumbling, feathering and blending and then used these to sketch our facial features in isolation. The final piece we created was a portrait of ourselves, using these different sketching techniques.
