Year 5 have a fabulous day in the sunshine completing their art topic, Nature’s Art. We started the day thinking about the natural materials available to us, and the placement in our natural environment in which to create our artwork. We then looked at the properties of our chosen materials and why they may or may not work well. After creating our plan, we then spent the afternoon bringing our land art to life!
