Mitchell's artwork



FIREWORKS ON AUSTRALIA DAY by MITCHELL, 2015

Y3 & 4 artwork


In Term 2 the Year 3&4 children learned a variety of skills to become an artist themselves!
We focused on the elements of art in a composition: line, shape, colour, foreground and background
We also looked at some famous artists' work and tried to interprete what the artist wanted to communicate.

What do you think our Year 3&4 artists want to communicate in their artwork?
