We had a visit this morning from a local school - St Lawrence Academy. At 9.20am we were ready for groups of Year 9 students to come and have taster sessions in Art, Graphics & Photography......Art had decided to do something simple, something that would not be messy, something that would be fast paced and buzzing......(cough - cough)..........so, last night we set up a still life!!!
Buzzing!
We got the students to do continuous line, negative space and non dominant hand drawings with graphite sticks. They soon got into the swing of it and after some false starts, they were producing some very nice drawings indeed.
The first image above is a continuous line drawing - this is were you keep your graphite on the paper and not look at what you are drawing......can be a bit tricky! (also you can be hilarious!!!)
2nd image is the non dominant hand. I reckon they all had a good go and considering some of the students in the groups are not doing creative subjects in school, the results deserved a blog post!
And, just because I could add this photo, I did!!
Bruce was the tutor for the taster sessions.....I really think he deserved the rest of the day off.....!! Well done Bruce...!
Well done St. Lawrence Academy and well done Bruce!
