Miss Staines’s Class – Art Update – T1-W8

This week, the children explored Claude Monet’s Garden and learned about his famous painting The Water-Lily Pond. They focused on how Monet captured light and colour in his work. The children used oil pastels to draw the bridge, carefully layering different colours to create depth and texture. In the next session, they will continue by painting the water lilies and background using acrylic paints.

In one of the sessions, to celebrate the upcoming Halloween, the children had a fun creative activity making treat baskets. They used paper cups and orange paper to shape their baskets, then decorated them with spooky eyes, noses, and mouths. It was a joyful and festive way to welcome the Halloween season!
