Year3 are currently learning about the work of Anna Atkins. We have created mono prints, drawings, relief prints and are now using Procreate to produce digital sketches. We’re limiting our colour palette to different types of blue which links to her use of #cyanotypes #iPadart

Year1 visited the art room today to create textured papers. We found different objects around the room to take rubbings off and then also scrumpled the paper. These will be used to create feathers next week. AccessArt pathway work Mrs C Artsmark Anne-Louise Quinton 🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦 NSEAD
