As with any piece of art work, it’s essential that we have time to draft and redraft our work. By critiquing and reworking, then that’s when improvements can be made to the piece. It was lovely to see the children take on board feedback so that they could improve their second draft.

Before we can attempt our first draft, it’s important that we understanding atheism mediums that we will be using. For our art, we will be using watercolour and acrylic so we needed to practice using these paints. We used the wet on wet, wet on dry and then dry on dry which showed us different effects.

In art, we started by learning about a new artist called Andy Warhol. We learned some key facts about him then explored his style of art which is popart. Popart means popular art. Once we had learned about the artist, we had the opportunity to critique some of his work using I praise, I notice and I wonder. We really liked the bright colours which we later learned are called contrasting colours. These are colours that complement each other but make them stand out and look vivid.
