Week 1 – Insects and Mini Beasts

Option 1 – The Tiny World

Choose an insect or mini beast, such as a beetle, butterfly, spider or snail. Find a reference photograph and draw it carefully, looking at its body shapes, legs, wings and patterns.

Art skill: Observation, proportion and detail.

Option 2 – A World for Mini Beasts

Imagine you have shrunk to the size of an ant. Design a world where insects live, work and play. Perhaps a mushroom becomes a house, a leaf becomes a boat or a fallen twig becomes a bridge.

Creative challenge: Transform ordinary natural objects into something extraordinary.
