Shoes, shoes, shoes and more shoes.....

These delightful grey lead pencil drawings were drawn by my budding young Year 2 artists! Now they thought I was crazy when I asked them to take their own shoe off and really take a good look at it. These shoes were drawn large- A2 size. The detail is amazing, quite perceptive and they have all found a new appreciation for the school shoes they wear everyday! Once we had finished the detail observational drawings of our school shoes I asked the students to transform the drawings into a fabulously magical transport. A new rocket, plane or monster truck was the go.... yes I know I do like to challenge their ideas and minds. You can just make out the original shoes in the two images below.
