Lynette,

I have taught the stipple technique to high school age students...9 through 12 grades.  If you teach about values first, and how to create form with 3 values, stipple follows easily and the kids usually love it.  I structured the lesson by having students first create a simple form (in three values) using pencil, and then putting tracing paper over the top of that pencil drawing, do the first stipple exercise on the trace using the original drawing as a guide.

Best,

Jane

Subject: [SCIART] Age Range for Teaching Stipple Technique

 

I'm putting together a proposal to teach the stipple technique to educators at a resource center. It will be each participant's choice to approach this from a scientific illustration angle (i.e. render their object/specimen accurately) or to engage in the drawing as a fine artist. I need to list the target audience. I'm uncertain at what age students might enjoy and learn this technique. I wonder if I can suggest teachers who have 3rd or 4th graders? Is this age group too young? 

Best regards,

Lynette
