Art To Start!

Today we began our topic ‘Food for Thought’. We started by looking at Harmen Steenwijk. He was a Dutch still-life artist active in the 1600’s. We explored and compared some of his paintings, discussing the items that appear in them. We then explored the skulls, jaws and teeth on the tables. We used pencils on white paper to draw an outline, then we used different shading techniques to make the drawing have depth.
