Art week has started in Year 6 and we’ve spent lots of time learning about Henri Matisse, focussing in on his bird pictures! We have sketched simple bird shapes, translated them over onto polystyrene tiles and tried to create colourful prints. We are now going to try to create smaller prints in order to produce a set of bird-themed Easter cards.

Later this week, we are going to use recycled materials to produce some bird ‘mobiles’ ( not the telecommunication sort!) and also try to create and use our own quill pens made from goose feathers.
