This Art video lesson shows kids how to do an observational drawing using biro pen. Suitable for all ages … even adults! A clear demonstration shows how to build up the shape and form of the object (in this case a flower) using line and then tone. The video can be used as the basis of a classroom lesson or alternatively could be sent to students who are currently in lock-down and having to do distance learning. It is quite useful to have the video running on loop on the whiteboard whilst students are doing drawing exercises so that they can remind themselves of the process whenever they want.
This is one of a series of video demonstrations. Why not check out our store to see more.

Coloring for all! Many children and adults suffer from stress and anxiety at times. An over busy brain makes it difficult to concentrate on tasks and the feelings associated with anxiety can cause distress and further anxiety. Recent research suggests that activities which focus the mind without being overly taxing can help break the cycle of worry and anxiety and can help calm the busy mind.
One such activity is coloring. This resource provides 40 original hand drawn kaleidoscopic images. The repetitive nature of the patterns is intentional, encouraging the individual to settle into a calming routine. Drawings range in complexity, making it a suitable resource for all age groups, including adults.
I hope that enjoyment and a sense of calm can be found by using this resource.
