February Self-representation project

Self-representation Art Project

This week has marked ‘Children’s Mental Health Week’ and we have been raising awareness of mental health across school. In Year 5 and 6, we have just finished our project on ‘Self Representation’. In this project, we explored what truly represented us and made us happy. Thank you for providing the children with meaningful photos from home, it was truly lovely to hear them talking about people and things that are important in their lives and what makes them smile! During the project, we experimented with different techniques, including: collage, layering, ink and painting using palette knives. We were also able to experiment with photography angles and research some wonderful artists. The final pieces turned out beautifully, well done Class 4!
