Year 4 completed their art topic of painting today by producing one of their own abstract pieces focusing on flowers. The children used a range of materials to help create their desired effects; sketching pencils, water colours and acrylic paints. 

Our current topic in Art is painting. We have looked at he work of different artists, including Georgia O’Keefe whose work was focused heavily on flowers. We were inspired by her work and have been working on re creating paintings of flowers in her style.
