Weekend Art Challenge Results – The Letter G!

This weekend we continued our alphabet challenge, with students asked to create a drawing or painting based on something beginning with the letter G. Once again, you have all come up with a great selection of creative ideas!

From gentle giraffes and curious geese to golf, Gnu’s, grapes and beyond. We have seen a fantastic mix of subjects, styles and approaches. Some pieces are playful and characterful, others more observational or detailed, but every one shows thought and imagination.

Scroll down to enjoy this week’s G-themed gallery and thank you to all the students who took part! Stay tuned for the next one tomorrow!

Here’s my drawing of a toy giraffe using Derwent Inktense coloured pencils.
