Year 7 Drawing Club

Year 7 were asked by year 12 to draw from their feet up. This proved quite a challenge that required a lot of looking and drawing you can SEE rather than what you THINK should be there.

TONIGHT






Helena Fourment Circa 1630-31 Rubens, Peter Paul 

 Year 7 Drawing club: Year 7 students respond to a drawing by Peter Paul Rubens of his wife Helena Fourment.

 Helena’s unusual headwear became the focus of some very creative paper hats made by Year 7.

 Look closely at this drawing to answer the following questions.

 Why did Helena wear such an unusual piece of headgear? 

What medium did Rubens uses to draw this beautiful image of Helena?
