Drawing with Lowry

This 11 page resource explains how Lowry’s work was relaxed and simple in regards to his representational skills. Under this description we can look to see if studying Lowrys work will reassure young artists that not always does art and its drawings have to be of the highest standards.
Understanding his figures also shows how we can draw in our own way, and if we do, we can express our own opinions, thoughts and feelings.
It is perhaps here that we can encourage pupils to interpret, in their own way, the human form without creating the impression that the matter of drawing a person is too difficult.
The work is ideal for homework handouts, sketchbook fillers and descriptions and annotations.
There is also a collage exercise to encourage ideas of composition.
