Year 3 Art - Fabric Painting
Fri 22 Mar 2024Year 3 have been exploring the art work of Alice Kettle. She paints gigantic landscapes using paint on fabric and then stitching the detail. Here Year 3 are practising painting on fabric, seeing how colour mixing and brushstrokes have an effect. They also then practised adding stitches to their painted samples. Knot tying, threading needles and working out where to sew were all problems we overcame!
If any year 3 parents would like to support our sewing, we will be doing some more on Monday afternoon!
