Working on a new series of drawings based on my trip to Florence last year. These Silverpoint and white ink drawings are on prepared paper with sepia tinted ground. Silverpoint is a drawing technique that uses a silver-tipped instrument. The silver deposited on the prepared ground tarnishes and changes over time. The shift that occurs is part of the beauty of the finished piece.

Silverpoint drawing on prepared paper with sepia tinted ground, drawn from a plaster model of Dircé 1834 in the Lorenzo Bartolini hall of plaster casts, Galleria dell'Accademia, Florence, Italy. The original marble statue is in the Louvre museum, Paris, France.

Another great art and design portfolio score from TUD for a student from the Clarke art portfolio preparation class 👏👏👏 So delighted! 😊

Lovely handprinted repeat pattern from today’s secondary art class.

Watercolour study of seahorse specimens.

Today students studied the 3D art of London-based artist, Patrick Hughes who pioneered reverse perspective. Under this illusion, a depicted scene appears to be receding away, even though it physically juts toward the viewer.🛤🛣

Ink and charcoal study drawn today of three Terracotta warriors of the Qin Dynasty.

Lovely collage created by a secondary school student inspired by Hannah Höch the German Dada artist, who was one of the originators of photomontage.

Well done Anya! At the LMETB Robert Ballagh art competition awards with the man himself. 🎨

Congratulations to my amazing LC art students who all achieved top marks from IADT today 👏👏👏 well done, now just need to pick?🤔
