PEN & INK STROKES

Today in class we worked on Pen & Ink strokes. We reviewed the styles of drawing and then put them to work! The lines vary:

CONTOUR LINES: marks that follow curves and planes of an object

PARALLEL LINES: straight marks that extend in the same directions (free hand)

CROSSHATCHING: two or more sets of contour or parallel lines that are stroked in different directions and intersect (like the pound sign #)

STIPPLING: grouping of dots

SCRIBBLE: free flowing mark that loops and twists

WAVY LINES: lines drawn side by side in a repetitive pattern

CRISSCROSS LINES: flow with contour of object and arranged in staggered randomly crossing manner

LOOK for these styles in their work filling in the "Dia de Los Muertos" skull!
