Negative space paintings

Marble paper semester 2

Skeleton ink drawings

After learning about contour drawing, students attempted a still life with skulls, bones and flowers.  On the last project, students used markers and water and a brush to create realistic shading.  They are using the same technique on bones to give them value and shading!  This is a link to another art teacher who has a wonderful lesson and examples of high school students working out the same process.
