9+ Art Club goes in search of colour . . .

Our oldest at group has been looking at colour this term. We have started right from the beginning, with the colour wheel, identifying complementary colours and are currently looking at tints, tones and shades. It has been great fun and the children are learning a lot.

Our younger artists, aged 5-8, were also looking at drawing; in particular, the inspiring work of Paul Cezanne. They were able to use various different media - watercolours, collage, printmaking and pastels. We put their work into some lovely frames, and they looked so wonderful, we were tempted to keep them for ourselves!!
