Feb. 7 – Pencil Crayon Techniques

Learning Goals: Create artwork using different media.

Success Criteria: You can use pencil crayons in multiple ways to create your portfolio.

Today we continued with our portfolio projects.  We looked at some examples of pencil crayon artwork.  Here are some examples of what is possible with pencil crayons:




The examples above are ones I found online.  We also looked at portfolios from previous grade 9 students and looked at what worked well and what didn't.

Here are some things to think about when using pencil crayons:

  • How sharp is the pencil?
  • What angle will you hold it at?
  • How hard should you press?
  • Will you colour with straight lines, circles or scribbles?
  • What do the colours look like when you put them on top of each other?

Experiment with the above questions in mind and see what different effects you get.  Then it comes down to you.  You must decide what kind of effects you want on each part of your design.

Now go ahead and make an amazing design!
