Thank you to everyone for the fantastic selection of philosophical questions suggested for discussion using the above image as stimulus.
I have chosen Joey’s double question which I feel is well worth some deeper discussion.
Do you think male clothes make her look more important and powerful? If so, does that mean that men seem like more important and powerful people?

What facts have we learned so far about the ancient civilisation of the Maya?
As part of our topic work on Survival, we looked at endangered animals and aimed to capture them through portraiture. Having completed a unit of work on human portraiture in the Autumn term, we aimed to transfer and build on the skills learned on line, shape and proportion. This was a more challenging brief as sketching fur was more challenging than hair. Finding the correct scale also provided a challenge, as was blending accurately to create depth and shadow. We used sketching pencils and graphite on cartridge paper.
