Art from Tehidy by Class 5

Autumn patterns

Class 5 ventured into Tehidy woods to experience the seasonal changes of Autumn and to do some sketching for their art topic ‘Mother Nature’.

Back at school the children used a view finder to choose an area of their sketches which had lots of detail. They then drew what was in the finder and coloured it in.

The children then had to arrange the images to make a pattern.

The results speak for themselves!

I liked the sketching in the woods. I thought I couldn’t do it but then I saw the yellow bits and I could then match them up yo make my pattern – Remy

 

It was a bit difficult to make a pattern but I like my finished work especially the flower bit – Ruby
