In Year 2, we have been busy mastering our art skills, taking inspiration from nature and our key artist, Alice Fox 🌿✨. The children explored how natural objects can inspire beautiful and detailed artwork.

We began by creating observational drawings of a variety of leaves 🍁. The children looked closely at each leaf, carefully considering the lines, shapes and sizes, and worked hard to sketch every detail in their sketchbooks 🖊️📖. It was wonderful to see their focus and the progress in their drawing skills!

Next, we brought our work to life by using crayons and wax resist paint 🖍️. The children applied a colourful paint wash over their drawings, watching as their crayon lines stood out brightly through the paint ✨. The results were vibrant, textured and full of detail, showing fantastic creativity and effort from everyone 🌈
