Grid Drawings 3/11/2014
We will be starting out the Trimester with Grid Drawings. These are drawings using a grid system to replicate an existing picture. Grids are used to divide the original picture into small squares. A grid is added to the blank paper as well. The grids do not have to be the same size! In this class we will be using larger squares on our blank sheet, but in later grades the students will be learning about distortion grids (which will change the picture greatly)! Everything in each original square will then be replicated over to the corresponding square on the blank sheet. Doing this will help the artist accurately transfer the picture.
