Weekend Art Challenge – A Vessel That Floats

Welcome to our latest art challenge where we asked our students to create a drawing or painting on the theme of ‘Anything that floats’. What amazing paintings and drawing we have received this week. It was so difficult to choose who would be our featured image. We chose Amelie as her painting is so unique.

This yacht (Undisputed Victor) from ‚Star Wars – The Last Jedi‘ is a very expensive (star-)ship. It appears on the Planet Cantonica and is shown cruising off a waterfall just to continue it’s route in thin air. The image is mixed media and was drawn with finliner, pencil, colored pencils and metallic felt pens.

We also love Normans RNLI boat, Liga’s Sailboat at Sunset’ and Lizzie’s dutch barge home. Superb artwork well done to you. Everyone has done a marvellous job on what wasn’t an easy task.

We hope that everyone enjoyed this challenge. Stay tuned for a new Weekend Art Challenge posted here tomorrow.

This is an acrylic sketch on paper. It is a sketch because time ran out…..For the RNLI crew every ‘shout’ requires speed; trust on this occasion they got wherever they were needed on time. A big Thank You to them – they do a marvellous job!

Grandma Viv and Maureen the cat in their Dutch barge home (can you spot 2 mice and a fairy?) watercolour and pen. (Ps Dr Grandma Viv has worked tirelessly throughout the pandemic keeping other people afloat with their mental health! good to see her taking taking a break with Maureen, she’s awesome)

‘Vessel That Floats.’ Narrowboats do. On Cheshire waterways they would carry those famous cheeses. I imagined a self-loading version.
