Misericords

Date: 13th Sep 2016 @ 8:29pm

In our Art lesson this afternoon, the children began some preparatory sketchwork, looking at misericords. ( A misericord is a ledge projecting from the underside of a hinged seat in a choir stall which, when the seat is turned up, gives support to someone standing. in places like cathedrals, these were carved into intricate shapes and models.) This work links with our trip to Chester Cathedral where the children will be taking part in a workshop about misericords.

They will be developing their drawings using shading techniques to try and make their drawings 3-dimensional.
