African art-What a start!

Year 4 have been using African art styles to celebrate the bodies of water-Lake Malawi and Lake Victoria.

We wanted to produce some African art whilst learning about our classroom names-The body of water-Malawi a

nd Victoria. We looked at the skill of pointillism to express this form of art. The children used the tips of spaghetti and cotton buds, dipped them into paint and tried to create patterns inspired by African art. We looked at animals and shapes. The children enjoyed using something different to create with, other than a paintbrush.
