These artists use ink on paper to create their image, with emphasis

on value (light and dark).

Technique: Stippling (applying ‘dots’)

Collaborative “LION” artwork created by UNBSJ Education students

Each student created on small ‘square’ of the whole image, choosing a word that relates to ‘lion’. The letters were placed closely together and overlapped to create darker values.

Then, all of the ‘pieces’ were arranged in order to create the collaborative image – a large portrait of a lion.
