YEAR 7 COLLABORATIVE ART

After studying tone intensively and experimenting with drawing various objects, Year 7 pupils were set the challenge of working in their form groups to produce a group drawing. They were able to achieve impressive results in a relatively short space of time by dividing the drawing up into sections. The project really put their skills to the test and they were encouraged to observe and replicate variations of lights and darks, avoiding the temptation to simplify what they were drawing. Although they worked on their sections independently, they came together frequently to share tips and, most importantly, to make sure the different sections of the drawing aligned. They were very proud of the finished pieces and learned a valuable lesson - that you can achieve great things when you work together as a team! The drawing on the opposite page is by 7BM and the one above is by 7MT.
