Today was Toilet Drama Day at The Hall. However, art was still made and enjoyment was still had. We practised copying from an image of a skull drawn by British contemporary artist, Sarah Simblet. Some were drawn by looking at the artist’s work, and then drawn again from memory without looking at the image. This is a great exercise to do for building up and increasing our drawing skills - it gets easier the more times it is attempted! 

We also have a series of three skulls drawn in pencil on grey paper, red pen on white, and black pens of various widths on white paper. It is interesting to note how each of these skulls has a different ‘character’ based on just a few line changes here and there. 

We also have pencil drawings of a young child from photographs, and a charcoal drawing done at home based on a live model that kept moving! 

Despite everything it was a really lovely session, thank you everyone.
