I asked my students to bring a teddy bear to class for drawing. It was so charming seeing them arriving, clutching their cuddly toys lovingly.. Great drawings, though pencil is difficult to photograph. This was such a popular subject - though there was nothing frivolous about it. The aim was to consider texture, and to understand that tone comes before texture

How cool is that? Bring a teddy! And the drawings are great, they have captured the textures. Wish I was there !
ReplyDeleteI have a pencil drawing of two teddies which I had made into notelets. One of my favourite drawings. Fascinated to see so many varied interpretations.
