Mixed media gardens

Today our year 1 children were working on composition, combining all elements they have worked on this term into one glorious mixed media garden.

Louise has worked hard on developing fine motor skills for careful paperwork and helping the children with more advanced painting and compositiion techniques.

They have worked on folding and coiling paper to make dragonflies, flowers and insects.

Made 3d backdrops for their creations

Used paint to learn how to mix greens and drag paint to make beautiful leaves

And looked carefully at insects when drawing.

All elements combine together to make a wonderful mixed media collaged garden

We finished off with a tiny bug in a box for a bit of fun!

I think you’ll agree they have had a very productive half term.
