This is the first week of Artclub this term and welcome to all new members and those who have returned.  This term we will be designing and making artwork that will be displayed at Tropical World, Leeds.

Using photographs taken in Tropical World, we built up mood boards to create a feeling of what it is like.  Most of us have visited there, but some of us have not so this was a great exercise in seeing what it is like and the different habitats it has.

Doodling

Each week we have been doodling in our sketchbooks, many of us adding to this at home.  We have seen some fabulous doodles which we will show here soon. Miss Morris brought in a cardboard coffee cup she had from a well-known coffee shop and showed us the autumnal doodles that decorated it.  This inspired some of us to reproduce the design and raised our awareness of where doodles can be used.  We then developed these ideas into our own doodles.
