100_Buttercups_Education_Pack_(Primary)_May_2011
The 100 drawings that make up the book were made by Fife based artist Laurie Clark. The book was published by artist David Bellingham and from his own press WAX366 with help from Fife Contemporary Art & Craft (FCA&C).
The pack aims to encourage older primary school children (P5 to P7) to develop an appreciation of the aesthetic through observation and creative exploration. By using observational drawing – the exercise Laurie undertakes so well – as a starting point, the art & design projects can be expanded to make links across the curriculum. Laurie describes her drawings as ‘portraits’ of the flowers because each is unique just as we are unique. The following projects explore the concept of things which seem to be the same but on close observation are individual.
