South View Middle School

Hello Jackson, I think you are learning a valuable art technique. Shading lends depth to a drawing and adds much more interest than solid colors. The shading you did was great and I especially like the figure on the right side which looks to me like a person looking at your work. I remember Georgia O’Keeffe’s charcoal drawings where she did a lot of shading. Your teacher is really expanding your visual arts skills and teaching you more each week. You have one of the most important life skills and that is to follow your passions and keep learning, trying new things and improving your skills. You seem to have a real passion for learning and that is wonderful. Keep learning and trying new techniques. We are proud of you and for following your interests.
