Cross/Point

PRELIMINARY EXERCISES IN CROSSHATCHING AND POINTILLISM

INTERMEDIATE 2-D ART

These beauties where done as a prelude to Scratchboard because both crosshatching and pointillism are used in this medium.

Both techniques are tedious and time consuming, but the kids excelled nonetheless.  

In this first one by senior Cathy Luo, it was so outstanding that it went to the annual District Art Show.

She's got to have put down thousands of dots to have done this piece with.

Here are both senior Jasmine Zhao's crosshatch (above) and Point (below).

Remarkable, right? 

Senior Heather Warner drew this amazing water polo ball in point.

By the way Heather, I'm so very proud of how hard you've worked this year to get your skill level to this very advanced level!

Way to go woman!!!

And lastly senior Anne Allan brings a bit of both point and cross into her lovely illustration above.
