This week 1M children looked closely at the famous artist Monet’s painting called ‘Red Boats’.

They did a sensory gallery walk, writing down what they could see, but also imagining what they would be able to hear, smell and feel.

Children then drew their own version thinking carefully about the types of line to use (Monet preferred natural lines).

Next the children added tone by shading areas that were darker in their pictures.

Children were encouraged to continuously evaluate their own work and that of others, which is a very important art skill.

The final sketches are fantastic and show that we have some aspiring artists here at Brecknock!
