Sketching

This week in our topic lessons we have compared the houses of today with houses that existed around the time of the Great Fire of London. 

We used pictures of the buildings to sketch our own images, using shading techniques and selecting appropriate sketching pencils. 

The children all worked very carefully to think about how much shade they needed to create, and chose a pencil that would suit that. Our first attempt at sketching was a great success. The results are wonderful!
