The artworks consist of a **background**, **midground** and **foreground.** The backgrounds depict a starry night. The children looked at photographs from the Hubble telescope when drawing shapes with wax crayons. They mixed their own **secondary** paint colours and worked expressively over the crayon learning about the wax resist technique. The **midgrounds** are paper shapes of leaves cut by the children. Practising their **observational drawing skills** by drawing from photographs, Year 1 created their own mythical creatures using different parts of real animals – just like the animal in the book; these creatures became the children's **foregrounds.** We talked about **composition**, **layout** and **arrangement** when sticking all the different components together to make a **collage** artwork. The children really enjoyed making these and they now adorn the walls of of the school.
