Year 5 really enjoyed taking part in a Daisi art workshop led by local artist, Monica. The children explored their emotions through art, created charcoal pictures, had conversations through art in pairs, made marks to express their feelings and learned many different art techniques. In the afternoon they looked at different styles of abstract art by various artists and then chose emotions in their groups to paint in the style of abstract art. The results were incredible and it was lovely to see the groups so focussed in their work!
‘I found isolating parts of my body challenging but enjoyed seeing the scribbles turn into something cool.’
‘I’ve learnt how to express my feelings whilst drawing and painting.’
‘I enjoyed working as a team to create a masterpiece!’
Thank you to the Helen Foundation who funded the project which enabled our children to take part.
