Developing a Character

Artist Ania Bas began working with the children at Dundonald Primary School to develop a character.

Ania’s warm up activities really get the brain working and thinking creatively.

This week we drew a room simultaneously with both hands.

We then did some life drawing to help us look closely at people.

We then looked at a variety of collage work by different artists and worked on good, bad, evil, charming and fantastical characters of our own using materials from magazines and newspapers.

We developed skills in paper cutting, drawing and collage. We will use these new characters to create a picture book.
