3rd Class Pop Art!
3rd class decided to bring a pop of colour to school last week by creating Pop Art pieces of their own. The children learned about the art of Andy Warhol and how he created repeated images with loads of colour. The children traced photographs of themselves onto laminating sheets and stuck collages of paper inside afterward. They created amazing colourful pieces! Well done 3rd class!
