Roman Mosaics

George Seurat and Pointillism

During our lesson the children experimented with cotton wool buds, pens, paint, straws and paintbrushes to create their own pointillist patterns.
Printing Patterns
As part of our new topic of 'patterns', the children in Pine class designed and created their own stamps. Using string and card they stamped their own patterns using rotation, reflection and symmetry.
