Watercolour Washes Inspired by the Tapestries of Henry Moore

By Paula Briggs

This week in the Drawing Workshop for ages 6 to 10, we continued our exploration of drawing vegetables.  The workshop introduced the children to using watercolour washes and explored themes of still life, restricted palettes, mixed media and tonal washes.  The tapestries of Henry Moore were used as inspiration for the session.

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.
