So today was session three of three with both Year 3 and 4 at the local primary school as part of our sketching project. A wet morning so I was so glad that we did our outdoor sketching last week. The classroom title has significance because I fled almost from classrooms as a location early …
In 2018 I was invited to work with the Year 3 and 4 classes at one of our local primary schools linking sketching to their local area unit. I developed a four hour unit which today I got to repeat with a third cohort. Visit One I do an introduction to me as Andy the …
So, Wednesday June 1st and back at the studio for the last two days on what are my normal working days. The art weeks have started well for me, just over a week ago I was worried I wouldn’t sell enough art to cover the studio’s rent last month. Now five days on and the …
