Circle Time

We have been working on making Talking Sticks, which are looking good. We hope to have some photos on the blog as soon as we have finished.

We have been working on using our coloured pencils to create gradients and blends of colour. We look at examples of pictures by Richard Spare who works in dry point and water colours.
