Shading

This Art and design video explains how to introduce children to shading techniques to show tone in their drawings. Pupils practise holding their pencils in different ways and learn the four rules of shading: use the side of the pencil, shade in one direction, press evenly, and leave no gaps. They explore how light and dark tones help to create form and depth in artwork.
