Drawing and Collaging Fish and Seeing Composition
By Paula Briggs
In last week’s Drawing Workshop for ages 6 to 10 we drew fish with pencil, pen and watercolour, practising our observation skills and encouraging hand eye coordination. This week we took things a little further, introducing new materials and textures, and also giving the children as much freedom as possible to develop their ideas in their own unique ways.

I was intrigued as to the actual age of each of the childen. Being a C of E school I am interested in running a ‘fish theme’ as our lead up to easter – ‘fisher’s of men’ etc and the ichthys.I picked out the phrase – very useful – I encouraged the children to draw what they wanted to see and leave out what they felt was unneccessary

Hi the children were aged 6, 7 and 8 (mainly 6 and 7). Most have been coming to the class a while so are very familiar with all the different materials…
