This is the last of my entries inspired by my two day drawing event at Talbot Heath Schoollast week. It already seems a long time ago!

Year Two had been studying castles and had drawn knights but they hadn’t drawn a castle.

We discussed what was required in the drawing. As I drew a castle, we decided that we needed a Keep and an outer wall with a moat and portcullis and a drawbridge. Slit windows, a flag and a swan in the moat were other important considerations.

We also decided that the drawing would be better with an arial, 3d view rather than a 2d sideways view, even though it was going to be much harder!

The children did brilliantly! I don’t think they realised quite how difficult the drawing was. Sometimes it’s best not to know but to just get on with it!

Many thanks to everyonefor a couple of great days!
