Exploring Natural Materials

This week Urshita, Will and Adesewa tell us about their art lesson in year 4

We have been exploring how natural products produce pigments to make different colours.  We went outside and collected natural things like twigs, soil and leaves. We were then able to use these to make our own pictures. Will: "I have made a volcano by using soil to make the brown colour and glueing on leaves for the tress." Urshita: "I have made a picture of trees and blossoms and glued on twigs for the tree trunks. Adeseewa: "I have made trees and flowers and used leaves to make the green colour. We really enjoyed this lesson as we could make our own pictures and used natural things like in the Stone Age.
