Support students in developing their observational drawing and painting skills with this 15-page aubergine-themed art workbook, designed for Year 10 and KS4 students.

Using photographic references and guided activities, students explore how to observe, draw and paint a natural form with increasing accuracy and confidence. The resource focuses on proportion, form, light, colour, surface and composition.

This resource includes:
Photographic aubergine references
Contour and observational drawing activities
Form and proportion studies
Light, highlight and shadow observation
Surface and texture analysis
Colour-mixing exercises for aubergine skin, highlights and calyxes
Grid drawing studies to support accurate placement and proportion
Year 10 exemplar artwork

This resource can be used as a complete mini-unit, as a supporting workbook for an observational drawing project, or as a source of individual activities during a painting or still-life unit.

Suitable for art lessons, homework, cover work, independent study and GCSE Art preparation. Students will develop their ability to observe carefully, analyse visual information and translate what they see into considered drawings and paintings.
