Learn how to draw a dragon with Barkerend Primary Leadership Academy students. Part of DRAW! supported by David Hockney.
In this video, the super creative students of Barkerend Primary Leadership Academy show their teacher Mr. Thompson how to draw a dragon and reflect on the reason why adults don’t draw at all!
With this video we’re asking young people to follow along and learn to draw a dragon then get their adults to sit down and learn from them.
Inspired by David Hockney, we’re encouraging everyone (including the adults around you!) to get creative and draw in 2025.
