THE PENPOL TIMES

Autumn art in Tehidy Woods

,

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

On the 9th November Class 5 visited Tehidy woods to do some sketching and to collect autumn leaves as part of their curriculum artwork.

The children worked very hard and drew some stunning pictures of the trees around the woods.

They then collected various kinds of leaves with wonderful autumn colours.

Back at school, the children studied the leaves and then made some incredible detailed drawings.

The tree drawings they had done earlier were copied several times and then coloured in the style of William Morris wallpaper. The final result was very effective.

Class 5 really has some superb artists!
