For this weekend\u2019s art challenge we asked students to focus on black and white subjects<\/strong>, encouraging them to explore tone, contrast and shape rather than relying on colour. Working with a limited palette often reveals just how powerful light and dark can be when used well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The results this week show a wonderful variety of approaches. Some students created highly detailed studies, carefully building up tones and textures, while others explored bold graphic designs and striking silhouettes. From intricate animal studies to atmospheric landscapes, the challenge produced some thoughtful and visually engaging pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working in black and white can be surprisingly expressive and our students certainly rose to the challenge. We hope you enjoy the artwork below and don’t forget to stay tuned for another challenge tomorrow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had great fun looking at early black and white cartooning from the 1930’s. I have enjoyed doodling many characters over the weekend and I find Lutz’s drawing book a fascinating early guide to making cartoon figures in this early Walt Disney style.

I did some experimenting. First one was with white charcoal on black paper. Then I used vellum paper on top and fill black with polychromos pencil. Photos taken that vellum paper on black background and white background. Just making something different.
