Shoe drawings we like

We've been busy with  our shoes out in Key Stage 3 and some fantastic line and shade drawings using pencil, charcoal, biro and fine liner.

KS3 project for September - October 2012

Calling all year 7 and 8 students!

This half term we will be developing skills using pencil looking at shoes. This will mean you need to bring in or photograph shoes you would like to draw.

You can of course use shoes you have on your feet...
