Communal Drawing: Summer Picnic!

By Paula Briggs

After 4 weeks of drawing vegetables and with the end of term upon us, I thought the children in my Drawing Workshop for Ages 6 to 10 deserved a sweet treat.  At the end of each previous half term we worked on a communal drawing – which made a nice focus for a session.  What better on a hot summer’s evening to draw a picnic? (And then eat it!).

What We Like About This Resource….

“Rachel has contributed some great resources to AccessArt and we really like how this idea captures the concept of ‘returning’ – something that school children will have processed over the past year. We love how this activity encourages hands to feel and move paint about freely – to experience its qualities and tactile nature. You could try this in your setting using different migratory birds such as Ospreys or Swifts as inspiration, with the children looking at images of these birds before trying some observational drawing.” – Rachel, AccessArt.
