We have worked with Artist Phil Dean aka The Shoreditch Sketcher to create ‘Sketch Your World‘; a project aimed at students of 16 and above to give them the skills they need to be inspired by their surroundings.
This drawing project consists of 2 introductory resources and follows with a series of 5 challenges each with a different focus, to ensure students can make the most of their local environment.
You might like to explore the resources yourself, set them as homework, use them in guided sessions or use them in an after school or gallery context.
