This week, we have been enjoying our special Chuseok art projects, celebrating tradition and creativity. After these holiday activities, we returned to our main topic in art—exploring the seven elements of art. So far, we have learned about light, shadow, shapes, and lines.
Today, we applied these skills to drawing trees. A tree is not just a trunk with leaves—it comes alive when we observe the details of light and shadow. We looked carefully at how the direction of light changes the tones, creating highlights and darker areas that make the tree look three-dimensional.
Students worked thoughtfully, adding shading to their sketches and discovering how shapes and lines can build the texture of bark and the volume of leaves. I look forward to seeing their completed artworks in our next lesson.
