As part of our topic of WW2, we have used pencils of varying graphite grades to draw a portrait depicting emotions of war. After viewing the emotive work of German artist, Kathe Kollwitz, we used a series of lines and experimented with the technique of ‘chiaroscuro’ which is the darkening of the background around the face and the adding of shadows.
Portraits are by: Seth, Mateo, Bella, Isaac, Riley and Cashara
