Can you think of a better way to spend the weekend than capturing the elegance of historical chinaware through the art of volumetric hand drawing? Our students certainly couldn’t! This weekend, they delved into the techniques of pencil shading, creating stunning still-life sketches of the school’s cherished chinaware. By forgoing color, they accentuated the intricate patterns and delicate details, enhancing the visual sophistication of their artwork.

Through careful observation and meticulous shading, they brought depth and realism to their compositions, mastering the play of light and shadow to achieve striking three-dimensional effects. This exercise not only refined their artistic skills but also deepened their appreciation for the craftsmanship behind these exquisite pieces. The experience encouraged patience, precision, and a keen eye for detail—skills that extend far beyond the art studio.
