Today we have been exploring different mediums. We have used pencils/handwriting pens to complete observational drawings of the objects we collected last week to create replicas of Andy Goldsworthy’s work. Today we focused on continual line drawing and the results were fantastic.

In our ICT lessons, year 2 have been looking at the artwork of Piet Mondrian and trying to recreate his artwork using the laptops and tablets.  You can see from some of the children’s work that this is an artist who used lots of lines and bold colours in his paintings.
