After being cancelled due to terrible weather last term, Y4 finally got to complete their outdoor sketching this afternoon! We visited Queen Victoria Square in the City centre to sketch examples of Roman inspired architecture.

The building surrounding this square all encompass some of the iconic designs developed by the Romans and still used to this day. Children completed a variety of sketches including overall drawings of the whole building or more detailed studies of specific parts of the building such as pillars, arches, vaults and domes.

Overall the children had a fantastic time and it was a great experience to spend an afternoon sat in the sun practising drawing. Well done children!

Children getting comfortable for a sketch of the town hall. 

Rebecca focused on the domed finnial of this building 

Feren’s Art Gallery was a popular building to draw – children really focused on the typically Roman entrance facade. 

Enjoying the weather, happily sketching!
