This term, our students have been diving into various drawing techniques, discovering the intricacies of both the medium and the methods of using them. By experimenting with different pencil grips and observing the effects, they've not only honed their drawing skills but also significantly improved their handwriting.

One key aspect of their learning has been understanding how the way they hold a pencil can influence their control and precision. Students have been practicing drawing with varying pressures, learning to apply both light and firm strokes. This practice translates directly to handwriting, making it a smoother and less strenuous task.

Additionally, we've introduced the concept of connected drawing, where students collaborate by linking their drawings to those of their peers. This exercise fosters a sense of community and teamwork, as they collectively create vibrant landscapes filled with colour and shapes. The collaborative nature of this activity not only enhances their artistic abilities but also builds a harmonious environment in the classroom.
