During this gnarled twigs dip pen project, students experiment with dip pens, research Van Gogh’s drawings and then create a detailed, expressive dip pen drawing of a gnarled twig. Perfect!
Optionally, if you need a shorter project, you could simply get students to create a dip pen drawing.
Included in this download:
- A 15-slide presentation with objectives, explanation of what a dip pen is, Van Gogh drawing introduction, example sketchbook page and beautiful step-by-step images of a dip pen drawing.
- 3 Gnarled twig images to draw.
- 4 Van Gogh drawings to inspire mark making.
- A good example dip pen twig drawing to place on desks whilst students draw.
Please note, there is no lesson plan as everything you require is in the PowerPoint.
You might like to share this YouTube short with your students, which shows the good example being created.
