Artists from Wales: Interpreting Art

Support for Art and Design teachers and lecturers on raising learners' drawing skills based on GCSEs, AS and A-levels in particular but may also be of interest to staff teaching vocational courses at levels 2 and 3. The package provides useful practical examples showing all the different types of drawing that can be integrated into work plans. As with writing, drawing has many different purposes, and it is important that students are aware of them and convinced of the value of acquiring appropriate skills that will enable them to develop their creative ideas and communicate them visually, in whatever discipline they are studying. The resource pack also includes ten examples of work units that ensure that drawing, particularly observational drawing based on original sources (not photographs), is at the heart of foundation course work plans.
