Amazing artists!
Today we have been exploring different mediums. We have used pencils/handwriting pens to complete observational drawings of the objects we collected last week to create replicas of Andy Goldsworthy’s work. Today we focused on continual line drawing and the results were fantastic.
Exploring the woods
Today we explored Trentmill Nature Reserve to help us with our setting description. We described what we say, what we heated and what we felt.
