This workshop followed on from a previous session, when teenagers worked on sharing drawings and moving colour to music, as a way of exploring expressive mark making and pushing a drawing to its limit. This resource shares how we enabled expressive drawing in charcoal and soft pastels.

What We Like About This Resource….

“Faith’s work creating sculptures using recycled or discarded plastic is really beautiful, and exceeds expectation of what we might consider scrap plastic being able to do. The processes she uses, particularly with the dancing figures, are all easily accessible to a school setting, with tape, card, wire being relatively inexpensive and simple to use. Delivering an Art project using waste plastic has cross curricular links with other subject areas, particularly PSHE and Geography where children may be learning about the environment and how to protect it” – Tobi, AccessArt.
