Lesson 2: Shading

Learners needing support:

• Could use the Activity: Shading skills (support version) with a pre-drawn arrow to guide them in gradually adding light, medium and dark shading.
• Could use a pencil grip to soften and support their hand; a writing slope might also help.

Learners working at a stretch:

• Could choose one shape on the Activity: Tonal picture templates, sketch its outline on drawing paper and then shade it in.
• Should draw their own shape and shade it in.
• Could complete the same activity in colours to achieve a tonal range.
• Could work with their fingers or Edga soft tissue, without losing the tonal differences.
