You need:
Pencil (A4), pencils (HB, 2B, 4B), 2 sticks (one 30cm and one 60cm), 1-3 objects eg pepper cut in half, old boot/shoe)

Description:
We are so used to using our hands to write but why do we need to draw in the same way?  This exercise challenges you to use your pencil in different ways and ultimately create different marks.

Task:
Using masking tape, attach your pencil to the end of the long stick.  With outstretched arms, draw your object(s) with a variety of descriptive marks  (10-15 mins).
Ext: 
  • Attach a softer pencil (2B) and repeat the process on a new piece of paper creating new tone and different textures.
  • Repeat with 4B pencil.
  • For a 4th drawing, repeat all of the above on one piece of paper so all 3 drawings are overlapped.


Now compare all your drawings thinking about the quality of line.
