Artistic Abingdon Prep
Saturday 8 October saw a group of our 10 to
13 year old boys thoroughly enjoying a creative
workshop. The boys made sculptures out of
wire, tissue paper, wax and glue under the
expert guidance of artist and educator Ian
Shearman, a former Head of Art Education at
Cambridge University. The boys made wire
drawings and used a range of techniques to
create their sculptures.
The sculpture workshop was followed by a
Sketchcrawl
later on in the term when Year 8
boys, from across the Abingdon Foundation,
took part in
The Big Draw
– a national
campaign to encourage drawing. The boys
explored the Prep School grounds creating
a series of sketches using new materials and
were encouraged to look at familiar sights with
fresh eyes.
