The Big Green Draw
During the final week of the first half of Michaelmas
Term, the Art Department encouraged the whole school
to unleash their inner artist and join in with the Big Draw
2020. This is a nationwide event designed to inspire
everyone, regardless of age or experience, to get drawing.
Dubbed ‘The Big Green Draw’ this year, the theme for
2020 was ‘A Climate of Change’.
In the Inter-House challenge, pupils and staff representing
each of the 13 Houses were set the task of drawing some of
the magnificent trees around the School Site, using acrylic
paint and broccoli and asparagus as ‘brushes’. All the trees are
part of the ‘Tree Walk’ created by the School’s Natural History
Society last year, and also celebrated in poetry recently by the
Creative Writing Society (see page 30).
