A Chinese New Year Inspired Art Week!

WOW… what a very exciting week Hedgehogs have had. This years art week theme is ‘80 days around the world’ as we are celebrating the 100th anniversary of the book. So Year Two were given the country Hong Kong and we explored the art created there. Hedgehogs’ decided to research further into Chinese New Year and looked at the different colours, traditions and decided to create art around this theme.

Year Two have been so creative, expressive and really enthusiastic about the artwork they have created. We have made 3D lanterns, stencils to make a collaborative piece and even attempted Chinese writing inspired by an artist from Hong Kong called Kwok Mang Ho. They have really show great perseverance with some of the work as well as have the freedom to recreate their own pieces. Miss Hall has been really proud! Below are some snap shots of our organised chaos…

Make sure you come along to Hedgehogs gallery, next Tuesday, to see the inspiring artwork they have created!
