UoI homework due in Tuesday 26th January

The Unit of Inquiry homework this week is to find a picture or photograph of the peacemaker you have been researching and draw a realistic, full size A5 ‘sketch’ of your Peacemaker’s bust (their head and shoulders). It does not have to be PERFECT (we know you are not all famous artists) but no stick people with dots for eyes and bananas for mouths please! It must resemble your peacemaker as much as possible. You may sketch it in pencil and leave it in black and white or colour it in once you have sketched using coloured PENCILS – no felt tips. Please put your name on the back and do not include any text (writing) on your picture.

So for example – if your peacemaker is Nelson Mandela and you found this photograph...


You might draw something that looks a little like this...


Or like this...



As I said, we are not looking for PERFECTION – all we want to see is that you have tried your best! Make sure you colour all the same way and stay inside the lines of your sketches if you are colouring it in.

This is supposed to be a fun exercise which will help to improve fine motor skills (co-ordination of small muscle movements). It will also give you some practice for the illustrations for a book we will be making in our third line of inquiry about conflict resolution strategies.

Happy drawing!
