Simple Drawing Exercise: Drawing to the Slow Rhythm of a Metronome

By Paula Briggs

A new term at the Drawing and Making Workshop for ages 6 to 10, and I thought we would see how we can explore the relationship of paper and making through a book art/artist’s book project.

Before we started transforming our books, though, I thought we should help some new students settle in with some simple, slow drawing. It was the first warm day of the year here, and everyone was feeling pretty chilled out, including me, and I didn’t think we were up to any frantic making!

What We Like About This Resource….

“Rachel has contributed some great resources to AccessArt and we really like how this idea captures the concept of ‘returning’ – something that school children will have processed over the past year. We love how this activity encourages hands to feel and move paint about freely – to experience its qualities and tactile nature. You could try this in your setting using different migratory birds such as Ospreys or Swifts as inspiration, with the children looking at images of these birds before trying some observational drawing.” – Rachel, AccessArt.
