Mr Bourne Year 4/5 2020-2021

Year 4/5 decided to look at different artists from different eras and the type of work they created so that we had an understanding of the type of art work they produced.  We then  began to critique each piece of art according to the colour, style, impact and aesthetic qualities.  We had no…
