Lessons in Charcoal: Baby Bunny
(Children’s Activity)
Students (ages 5-8) will learn the basics of drawing in charcoal as they create this adorable bunny. They will learn the importance of value as they draw the eyes, ears, shadows, and background. Enjoy this simple and fun project designed specifically for beginners.
Lessons in Charcoal: Curious Puppy
(Children’s Activity)
A heartwarming project in the expressive world of charcoal drawing. This project guides students (ages 5-8) step-by-step as they bring a sweet, wide-eyed puppy to life, using simple shading techniques and playful texture. In less than an hour, they’ll explore the magic of light and shadow while creating a piece full of personality and warmth.
Lessons in Charcoal: Mountain Hike
(Children’s Activity)
Charcoal can capture the mystique of a landscape in ways that few other media can. In this project, students (ages 9-12) use value and shading to portray perspective and shadow. These skills allow a project to take on a three-dimensional appearance. Learn to create basic landscapes as you paint this serene mountain scene!
