Right
Image - showing still life after
being sprayed black
It
was introduced by considering the five 'senses' as ways in which it is possible
to describe an object in terms of its physical characteristics. This led on
to further discussion concerning the visual elements with particular reference
to 'form','shape','texture',and'tone'.We talked about 'perspective' and 'composition'
as key aspects of the unit. Pupils were then shown a still life group which
had been sprayed using black aerosol paint - the emphasis now being placed
on 'form' and 'tone'.
