Observational Drawing

A huge part of what we do at Trent College Art Department focuses on observation drawing. It's a key skill/ assessment objective at GCSE/A-Level, and a discipline we return to time after time at KS3 to prepare for this. These pineapples were recently drawn by pupils in Year 9 (as part of a controlled assessment), and showcase just how talented some of our pupils are, even at the tender age of 13/14.

They were produced from direct observation of primary source material (ask a Year 9! they'll be able to decode this statement for you!), and were created over two lessons (actual drawing time, after tuition, about an hour and ten minutes).

Wow!
