These are selected works from the first ever Girls Drawing Time club in Natimuk. But first I must explain, that we do have ONE boy in the club. He did attend the first ever boys club and found that he was the only boy to turn up, so the rules were bent for Ben Grey to attend the girls only drawing club the next day with his sisters, Kelly and Naja. You can see Ben's drawings from the Boys DT club on the Boys Drawing Time blog, but here is his selected art-piece from the Girls Drawing Time session held in Natimuk last Wednesday. It's a ripper, isn't it? A ripper rhino!
Below is a series of drawings selected by the female artist attendees of Natimuk's first ever Drawing Time club. It was a wonderfully productive drawing session. There were several group collaborations completed in the 90 minute session, and many individual pieces. The girls and Ben wasted no time in choosing their weapons ( Derwent pencils, fineliners, HB to 9B greyleads or Promarkers) and getting down to some serious fun. Some chose to copy pictures from the Drawing Time library books, some chose to use these images just for starting points and some chose to experiment with all the colours and types of pencils, eg metallic or watercolour.

What a fine exhibition! Such amazing, beautiful and thoughtful work, it's easy to see that these girls have been drawing for years, each drawing is so individual, and each has a strong confident hand behind it. Girls, please feel free to join up with the blog and add your own comments on your selected picture....Viewers love to know more about the story behind the picture, why you chose your particular theme or idea, and how you tackled drawing it. See if your parents can help you with this, or you can ask me for help at the next session if you're interested in commenting on your work.

| Collaboration: Naja, Kelly, Ben and Mars |
Above is one of the fantastic collaborations from last week. We all start drawing in each corner, then one person says "Pass it on!", so we turn the paper round and continue to add to the previous artist's corner. The "pass it on" person says it at regular intervals until the picture is full.
We ended the Drawing time session last week with the "Speed Collaboration" game. That's where we all sit around one table and draw as quickly as possible on rough paper with grey-lead pencils, passing the paper on to the person on our right every time the facilitator says "Pass it on". Unlike the group collaboration on large paper, this one is passed on at a much faster rate...and what happens on each A5 bit of paper can get pretty kooky and surreal.
Drawing Time is about developing your own individual style of drawing, and feeling confident about drawing anything on paper, and knowing that there is no-one who will criticise your drawings because Drawing Time is a completely positive environment for everyone to draw whatever they want however they want!!
Most importantly, Drawing Time is about FUN!
