TRAINEE art teachers from the University of Cumbria have been exhibiting their experimental and innovative drawings in the Lancaster Campus’s Alexandra Gallery.

The exhibition was a showcase of analytical and expressive drawings produced by fourth-year students working towards qualified teacher status.

In addition to the framed work, visitors had the opportunity to see student sketchbooks on display – some of them educational sketchbooks that were designed as teaching aids to help children understand different types of drawing and how colours and materials can be mixed.
