Student in Division 3 have been developing their sketching skills. We’re learning about different tools and techniques that can help refine our drawing processes–varied pencils, erasers, light and shadow, values, and contour shading. This week we followed along with a video tutorial for learning how to sketch a realistic eye. This was the first time for many to create such a detailed drawing of an eye, and I was really impressed with the care and effort put in by many students!
Sketching helps us develop our fine motor skills, powers of observation, patience, perseverance, and revision skills. Keep up the practice and you’ll make progress!

Our class wreath for Remembrance Day is based on Wassily Kandinsky’s work Squares with Coloured Circles (Farbstudie – Quadrate und konzentrische Ringe), 1913. Even though this piece could be considered Kandinsky’s most famous creation, it was not originally intended to be an entire composition. It was a study of how colours interacted with each other in various combinations. Kandinksy was a synesthete–he could hear colours, and see sounds. Colour tells its own story to each person, and to Kandinsky, colour meant more than just a visual component of a picture.
