P4/5/6 Pieter Bruegel

Looking closely the children have made an up close detailed study of a fragment of the 15th century painting entitled , The Hunters  in the snow. The children have made the connection to the winter’s scene in Holland and the colour scheme of winter is similar to our own snowy winter. Fog and mist on a grey green landscape- dark rocks and snow lying all around. They have looked carefully to see what the people are doing as they try to keep warm using only found wood to make fires to warm themselves in a time with no electricity or oil heating. It must have been difficult to survive like modern day refugees.
