Imaginary heroes of Antiquity in silverpoint, inspired by the 15th century low relief sculptures and drawings of Italian artists, Verrocchio, Della Robbia and Zoppo.

Silverpoint drawing of Alexander the Great, drawn from a marble relief by Florentine 15th Century artist Andrea del Verrocchio. Swipe to see my other heroes of Antiquity.

Another one of my favourite statues! This silverpoint drawing is of the tomb of Lorenzo de Medici, Duke of Urbino by Michelangelo 1524-31 in the Medici chapel, Florence. This lovely marble statue was the inspiration for Auguste Rodin’s bronze sculpture ‘The Thinker’.

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.
