These images are really funky and abstract. Within the lesson, the children learnt about scale and colour; they explored oil pastels (including learning how to layer and blend); they practised their observational drawing skills and through this, continued to develop their fine motor skills. The next blog from Year one will be the children’s paintings of red peppers; they will then go on to make fruit salad later in the term! The children's oil pastel drawings look great.
