Fireworks Art Project

I worked with small groups of three or four children to produce these Fireworks posters in the Art Room. There were several stages involved in constructing them. First, the children glued and carefully positioned the image of the Houses of Parliament on a piece of black card, before colouring it in with wax crayons. They then selected chalks for the firework patterns – it was important to chose bright and contrasting colours, arrange the patterns around the available space and avoid smudging them. The small groups afforded the opportunity to discuss the history of bonfire night, firework safety, and Parliament among other things.
