On Tuesday 1st October, I facilitated my ‘Out & About: A Drawing Day Out’ workshop at the V & A Museum South Kensington with A Level Art & Design students from Haberdashers’ Hatcham College

Students were guided by a series of experimental drawing prompts. They used these prompts to help them generate a variety of different observational drawings made while walking around the V & A.

The aim of the workshop was a focus on not limiting yourself to draw a perfect copy. To build confidence in drawing in public spaces. To be experimental in how they drew and what they used to draw. To independently go on their own external trips of observational drawing. And to generate a range of drawings that contributed to their personal art or university portfolios.
