    Year 1 Art and Sculpture Collaboration Day

    Back to News ListPreviousNext

    On Tuesday 3rd March, we were joined by the year 1 pupils from Hardwick and William Morris for a collaborative art day. We enjoyed visiting the local park with wooden sculptures and sketching them.

    We studied work by Vincent van Gogh and Beatrice Potter and explore their techniques using different mediums. Each class worked together to create a canvas imitating Vincent Van Gogh’s ‘Starry Night’.

    The children had great fun and produced some lovely pieces of artwork. Well done to all the children involved. Fantastic work.
