Watercolour Artists art work

Date: 20th May 2019 @ 12:18pm

Arts Week 2019 started with an assembly by a very special guest , the author Hilary Robinson. She spoke about how she was inspired by her Great Uncle and her Grandfather to write stories based on World War One . 

Back in class we looked at one of Hilary’s books Where the Poppies Now Grow. We enjoyed the story very much . We then looked in detail at the illustrations done by Martin Impey. In our sketch books we sketched out our ideas in his style. Next followed a lesson I’m how to use watercolour paints. Currently the class are painting their own poppy themed landscapes, thinking about brush strokes, colour mixing and perspective. I think we may have some master pieces on our hands
