Create an intricate decorative feather using lace-inspired patterns and detailed line work with this NeSpoon artist study activity.

Students draw a large feather before working from the centre outwards, developing sections using repeating motifs, swirls, dots, shapes and fine decorative details.

The activity develops understanding of silhouette, motif, pattern, texture, intricate line and contrast.

An extension encourages students to add a background or create a small collection of patterned feathers.

Perfect for KS3 Art, observational drawing, pattern projects, cover lessons and independent work.
