1P's Last Session - Teddy Drawing!

This week 1P fed their birds, finished their landscape collages and did some fabulous observational drawing of bears...











We looked carefully at the shapes of the bears and also the texture (how it feels).  We talked about how important it was to keep looking at the bear that we were drawing, and not to draw it from our imagination.

First 1P had a practice with the charcoal to see what effects they could get. They found they could make dark marks, wiggley lines and smudgy bits to give the impression of the texture of the fur...

After experimenting, 1P started drawing their bears...

They drew with charcoal on buff paper - which is a light brown colour

Then they tried out chalk on black A3 paper

They captured the fury-ness and squashy-ness of the bears really well.

Also 1P's teaching assistant made a fantastic display of the landscape collages and the birds - if you happen to be in the year 1 corridor go and take a look.
