Creating out of ‘Found Objects’

 

The Dick Institute, Kilmarnock

 

A great place to visit again and again.

The Dick Institute opened to the people of Kilmarnock 120 years ago.

To celebrate this much loved place we made some drawings.

P3 painted a background using blue, green and purple to suggest the leafy setting.

They drew the building in graphite pencil and highlighted finer detail in coloured pencil.

I think he is impressed! 🙂

 

Happy Holidays to all from Miss McCluskey. 🙂
