Large, gestural drawings

4H worked really hard on this Art unit. It wasn’t always easy and lots of perseverance and resilience was deployed! What they have produced is a testament to this resilience and developing their ability to reflect and ‘go again’ to create a fantastic finished tapestry!

This large, gestural drawing is a certain style of drawing that requires:

  • Using your whole arm
  • Not adding too much detail
  • Looking for shapes
  • Long, sweeping pen strokes
  • Feeling the movement!
Take a look at Alaric’s beginning attempt at large, gestural drawing and his final creation on the tapestry. His perseverance was outstanding. Well done, Alaric!
