Observational drawing

Back to News

2nd Feb 2017

We used oil pastels to draw snowdrops from observation. Observational drawing helps our concentration skills, we have to slow down, look and take our time. It also helps our looking skills - we have to look closely and notice and discuss details. It also gives children a clear focus on what they want to draw and achieve - a final goal. We had lots of fun investigating the oil pastels and we love that no two snowdrops look alike. Thanks to Hannah for bringing in the snowdrops from her granny's garden.
