Past Adventures #10

During the Spring Term Year 4's Art was based around their Express Yourself and Anthony Browne's Zoo topic. This gave us lots of Art opportunities.

We then focused on what 'expressionism' meant and trying to show that 'lines had feelings' through our choices of direction, shape, thickness and colour:
