Gargoyle is a short, engaging drawing activity designed to encourage students to follow along, use their imagination and create their own unique artwork.

The programme itself is approximately 10 minutes long. Tina recommends using a pause-and-play method throughout the activity. Pausing at suitable points gives everyone enough time to complete each stage of their drawing before moving on, helping the whole class to progress together and finish at roughly the same time.

Although the programme runs for just 10 minutes, teachers should allow approximately 20 minutes in total for the activity. The exact time required will depend on the age of the students, the size of the class and how much time they would like to spend colouring and finishing their artwork.

Materials needed:

Paper

Pencil

Colouring pencils or crayons

No specialist art materials are required, making Gargoyle an easy activity to set up and enjoy in the classroom.
