The class is split 11 and 8. The
group of 8 are currently doing life drawing with Ms D. The pose was seated
with hands in lap. The kids didn’t want to choose who to model so their
compromise was to put names in a hat and I would chose. Ms S (Co
operating Teacher) gave me A2 sheets for them, which did throw them, they
wanted to use A4. They asked me how would they use the page, I explained as
they are so close to them portrait would probably be better. I gave them the
option (like in the JC) of full seated or head and shoulders. All the girls
except one just did head and shoulders. When the pupils were drawing most of
them weren’t looking at the model they where drawing. The one pupil who
attempted the full pose drew what she thought she should draw. As she was
slightly on the left hand side of the model, where as she drew as if she was
face on. I don’t think the they enjoyed the class all that much.
The approach each pupil took was interesting. Now I’m not sure how they were
introduced to life drawing. But some took their time mapping the face out and
some kept going and then rubbing out.
I do think though they didn’t see me as a
teacher and that this may have been a free class for them. Maybe next I should
go around and ask them how are they getting on. I did give out and collect
their paper and pencils.
