With credit to the great Italian Renaissance artist, Michelangelo, Year 6 students created their reproduction of the Pieta sculpture in 2D. Each student shaded with 2B, 4B and 6B pencils, examining light and dark tones to recreate a detail from a photograph of the 2 tonne marble sculpture.
This was a beautiful lesson in what is possible when everyone works together to contribute their part to the whole. The younger students passing through the Breezeway have been in awe of what the students in Year 6 achieved with these enormous collaborative drawings.
