Observational Drawing - Week 6

Last week the children were given the task of drawing each other! They took turns at 'posing' for one another and the artist had only 5 minutes to capture their partner.

We discussed the possibility of our drawings looking 'silly' and the unlikelihood of them looking like a photo. The students instead were committed to recording the details of their partner's face and/or body they noticed the most.

This activity always reminds me how important it is that children get opportunities to draw without fear. They did an amazing job!

I wonder how many adults could do this?
