As part of their Enrichment Afternoon programme, the children in Forms 3 and 4 took part in 'The Big Draw Festival'. The Festival is a worldwide celebration of drawing which promotes the universal language of drawing as a tool for learning, expression and invention. This year the Festival focused on the five senses - touch, sight, sound, taste and smell, exploring the way we process the world and internalise our experiences through their senses.
The Big Draw Festival #DrawingwithSenses changed the focus from external to internal, encouraging the children to spend time exploring the way they personally process the world and internalise their experiences through their senses.
The children took time to discuss the senses, and then went on to each create five mini artworks representing each sense. Once the artwork was completed the creations were joined together to create a beautiful larger composition.
"This is a great year to look at the 5 basic senses: Touch, Sight, Sound, Taste and Smell and experiment with these and those you are less familiar with to transpose your experiences into creative work and drawings in 2023."
