This power point celebrates the work completed at the end of a project focusing on drawing. We explored seeing and perceiving and experimented with different ways to record our thoughts and ideas. We took ourselves as starting points and produced these innovative and insightful drawings using charcoal and some chalk. Adults were also offered opportunity to take part in Drawing inset day. The work was put on display to enjoy looking at what we all had done and accomplished.
