24 drawings in pencil and pen. Mostly black green and yellow.

Here are my 24 drawings for #AbstractAdvent2025.

We’ve been using Abstract Advent at work to start off lessons this month: abstract shapes taken from children’s book illustrations that we turned into whatever came to mind.

Some really tricky ones this year but I did enjoy the process.

Ok, I’ve missed the past 4 days of @artpedagogy.bsky.social’s #AbstractAdvent2025, so today I made up for them all by making a drawing that encompasses all those shapes alongside today’s!

With clay taking priority this month, haven’t had time to do weekly #abstractadvent2025 with kiddos, so they are playing with all the shapes this year (as will I after the 20th). Some commendable 7 year-old starts to artists trading card drawings earlier this past week:

I really struggled with the shape! But seriously enjoyed colouring in the hair. Hair has always been my favourite part of a drawing, ever since I was a wee pre-teen making Harry Potter fanart.

I think I immediately gave the bunny pijamas because I used to have Peter Rabbit bedsheets as a child and I LOVED them! 🥰

It’s shaping up to be a future “kit of parts” kind of thing. Maybe paper toys to play with during the holidays. #abstractadvent2025 #abstractadvent
