Let's Get Drawing

It’s the last day of the term and Ms Barry had kindly allowed us a day off from lessons to focus drawing and painting the cow. We had everything ready: colour pencils,  paint, paintbrushes, palettes, aprons and newspaper. But how and where to start? Thankfully, Ms McDougal suggested the idea to project our sketches onto the cow using a projector, and then tracing it with a colour pencil. It made life so much more easier! The drawings were done in no time. After that was the painting; our group was divided into two to work on each side of the cow. The left side is about the connection of rural and urban areas, with a free- flowing style of drawing, while the right side is about production of wool, expressed in cartoon. We had fun along the way, asking each other for advice and enjoying some snacks we brought to share.
