• Year 6 are artists

  Mon 16 Oct 2023

  We have been looking at the artist, Edvard Munch and discussing the impressionistic way his art can show emotions and feelings.  We initially looked at free form movement, using string to convey the different emotions before we moved onto free form, continuous pencil drawing and looking at colours that reflect mood.

   

  We will then be creating our own version of The Scream using these skills
