Drawing Vegetables: A Drawing Game

By Paula Briggs

For the next few weeks in the Drawing and Making Workshop for ages 6 to 10, we’re going to concentrate on exploring a variety of media through drawing vegetables.

Most of the children in this class (who are aged 6, 7 and 8) have been attending the sessions for a while, so are very familiar with the drawing materials we have available. Because of this, and because I wanted the children to be able to explore the vegetables freely and instinctively, I decided to turn the first session into a game.

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.
