This engaging observational drawing task combines careful study with creative experimentation. Students begin by constructing an interesting surface using packaging materials and tape, exploring texture and layering. They then create a detailed observational drawing of a shell slice placed on their handmade surface, focusing on form, tone, and composition. The result is a visually striking piece that celebrates both natural forms and everyday materials. Included in this download:

I set up The Arty Teacher because I have a passion for my subject that I want to share with other art teachers around the world.
I have been a high school art teacher for over 20 years, so I understand what it’s like to be in front of a class of students, often with very different abilities and attitudes.
I wanted to develop resources that would help teachers to bring out the best in every student in every class. I also wanted to free-up staff from time-consuming lesson preparation to let them focus instead on delivering exciting, motivating, dynamic lessons, supported by excellent resources.
