We will explore realistic drawing with a focus on line, shape, light, shadow, shading and perspective, developing techniques and experiences using graphite pencil, charcoal, watercolours and inks. We'll also explore and develop amazing imaginative or ‘own choice’ drawings using pencils and pens.

This term we will keep all of the A4 artworks until the end of term and present the final work as a special set of drawings.
