Third Grade Ink Grid Drawings

Utilizing contemporary painter Chuck Close's grid techniques, the third graders created these ink drawings using quills, Sumi pens, India Ink and brushes, as well as fine tip felt pens. In doing these, they displayed a wonderful understanding of how to attain a wide range of value using different pen and ink techniques. I feel that the many hours the students put into these drawings paid off extremely well. Nice work!
