A more detailed observational drawing challenge featuring a dramatic Halloween Cake with Dripping Icing.

Students use the 6 × 6 grid to carefully recreate the cake and its numerous Halloween decorations. The larger composition encourages students to apply the grid method to a more complex subject containing multiple forms and intricate details.

Students develop skills in proportion, symmetry, texture, tonal contrast, highlights, shadows and composition, while the dripping icing provides an excellent opportunity to study irregular organic shapes.

Ideal for KS3, KS4, GCSE Art, Halloween projects, cover lessons and extended drawing activities.
