This week in art class, Abby studied the work of Leonardo De Vinci. They were taught a little about the artist, (she liked that he designed a helicopter and that he used notebooks to keep records of all his ideas and inventions!! All those years ago!! She also told me how he wrote all his writing back to front (mirror image) to try and stop people copying his ideas)!!! Amazing for someone born in the 15th century!!
They then studied portraits and how to drawer the face using cross-hatching for shading and using lines for placement of the mouth and eyes etc.
