Under the sea – Drawing and collage  

The Under the Sea project allows students to advance their skills in drawing, painting and collage. We will look at the work of Ernst Heackel, an avid botanist of the Victorian era, who created incredibly detailed works of art looking in detail at sea life specimens. Students will learn about composition and proportion and even get to put together their own still life using a brilliant collection of weird and wonderful shells!
