A classroom filled with fresh bouquets became the starting point for a study in observation, as students transformed everyday floral arrangements into detailed works of art. Each student selected a unique composition and settled in to capture the shapes, movement and quiet complexity within petals, stems and light.
As their drawings progressed, students were encouraged to slow down and look closely. Subtle shifts in shadow, spacing and proportion became just as important as the flowers themselves.
The final pieces reflect careful observation and a strong commitment to realism. Their distinct character comes from the use of contrast, where soft pencil work and bold inked areas work together to highlight form and structure. Viewed as a collection, the artworks show how focused observation can transform familiar subjects into thoughtful studies of light, shape and space.
