Observational Drawing In Room 10

We've started a rountine of doing a 10 minute observational drawing once a week.  First we choose an interesting object to draw, like a piece of fruit or your hand, and look hard at lines and shade you see.  Then we do a 10 second continuous line - blind drawing, a 30 second blind drawing and then a 2 minute line and shade drawing.  The rule of thumb is to only make lines on your page when you are looking at the object.  You can look down, but only to see where your pencil is.

New Art Display in the Library

To show case the great visual art that happens across all year levels at Muritai School, each Year level now has its own area in the LIBRARY to show exhibit their best pieces.  It is also a good way to show the progression of skills from Year 1 to Year 8.  
Have a look.
