POINTILLISM

6. Peer-assessment – task 1
GROUP CRITIQUE
Now you are approximately ½ way through the drawing, blu-tack it onto a drawing board and rest this against the side so everyone can see it.
Be prepared to answer the following about another person’s piece of work:
Identify a drawing which is successful and identify why this is so?
Identify a drawing where something could be further developed/improved, what is it and how could this be done?
Self-evaluate your own whilst looking at the others and identify if there are any areas which would benefit from being developed.

7. Task 2
DRAWING 2:
For the next 4 lessons you are going to select another of your 4 Rankin-inspired photos and produce an A2 chalk pastel portrait.
You will be using only a white through grey to black spectrum of compressed charcoal sticks so it is your choice if you would prefer to work on a coloured sheet of paper instead of white paper. A neutral colour paper such as brown or cream might work the best, but it is your choice.
