Art: drawing from direct observation! - Moortown Primary School, Leeds

In today’s art lesson, we practised drawing from direct observation. We practised drawing leaves – the subject of a lot of William Morris’ designs.

To be successful, we had to:

– be resilient
– draw lightly (so we could rub out if needed)
– draw what we could see (not what we thought was there)
– add shade to show dark and light parts of our leaf

Here are a few pieces of work!
