Visual Arts Planning: Experimental Drawing

We often think about drawing skills as being accurate representations of an observed subject, but experimental drawing offers lots of opportunity to explore mark-making in it’s broadest sense. By balancing experimental with observational skills, pupils will be able to draw on all the skills they have experienced to develop their drawings.
