By Paula Briggs

This resource demonstrates how a ruler or straight edge can be used to make a drawing. In this example, we use this method to help us make drawings of bags, exploring their structure and detail through straight line mark-making. The video is suitable for ages 10 and upwards.

What We Like About This Resource

“This is a great activity to get students to think about drawing in a different way. Extending reach and accepting a lack of control can lead to really exciting and energised mark-making. It’s great to see that this resource has also been used in SEND settings, demonstrating its accessibility.” – Tobi, AccessArt.
