Mentor: Emilie Doyle
The class was a continuation of last week’s class regarding blind contour drawing and an introduction to continuous line drawing through Irish. The class started with a PowerPoint presentation on blind contour drawing with visual examples from artists as well as students. A video tutorial was also shown with an explanation of why blind contour drawing is important and how to improve the pupils hand to eye coordination. After the pupils had down some blind drawings they were instructed to take a walk around the room and view what others in the class had done. I think this was an effective method to show students what others are doing and how different results can come from the same method of working. Following this a short PowerPoint presentation on Continuous line drawing, which included visual examples as well as a video tutorial. The visual aids really help to explain why and what benefit these drawing exercises have for the pupils. Some students were talking amongst themselves during the presentation. A seating arrangement may need to be implemented in this class. The homework that was given was to bring in a primary source, to bring their art pack to the next class and to bring other drawing materials such as colouring pencils, markers, crayons, anything to make a different type of mark. The pupils are very quiet which is a bit unnerving however they are still settled into the school.
