Geometric Art

This week we have been looking at geometric art in preparation for our calendar art.  First we looked at lots of examples. Then we used paper plates, masking tape and paint to create our own geometric design. The masking tape was used to create the white lines between the blocks of colour. It was fun and our artwork looks fantastic!

The three steps - a plain plate, added masking tape, paint then we removed the tape to reveal our artwork.

Trade Aid talk

Today we listened to a talk about Trade aid and how they help people around the world sell the goods and crafts they make. Trade Aid is there to help people in poverty make a better life for them and the children.

These girls created a role play about a poor family who made baskets and sold them to Trade Aid to get more money.
