Art and DT

After half term we will be completing our relationship portraits, using water colours.  We had a practise, before we broke up, to understand how the water helps the colour move around.  We used colour washes and layered our paint to produce great effects!

 

We will then be moving onto our DT topic - to explore stable structures and create a photo frame and stand.  Perhaps you would like to bring a photo frame in from home so we can explore how it is made.
