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.

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.

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?

Arts and Crafts Movement
The origins of the Movement
In Britain the disastrous effects of industrial manufacture and unregulated trade had been recognised since about 1840, but it was not until the 1860s and 1870s that architects, designers and artists began to pioneer new approaches to design and the decorative arts. These, in turn, led to the foundation of the Arts and Crafts Movement.
The two most influential figures were the theorist and critic John Ruskin and the designer, writer and activist William Morris. Ruskin examined the relationship between art, society and labour. Morris put Ruskin's philosophies into practice, placing great value on work, the joy of craftsmanship and the natural beauty of materials.
By the 1880s Morris had become an internationally renowned and commercially successful designer and manufacturer. New guilds and societies began to take up his ideas, presenting for the first time a unified approach among architects, painters, sculptors and designers. In doing so, they brought Arts and Crafts ideals to a wider public.
