CPD Recording: Drawing Figures

In this 30-minute session designed to give you a practical and hands-on introduction to an exercise or approach, Paula Briggs and the AccessArt team show you how you can approach figurative drawing in the classroom.

This recording supports the pathway Telling Stories through Drawing and Making related to the AccessArt Primary Art Curriculum. In this session, you will explore a simple method for creating figurative drawings. Watch along or grab some drawing materials and join in with the exercise.
