Foot and mouth painting to honour service amputees

P7 have been investigating the effects on service men and women as part of our WW2 context. We first read and watched accounts of those affected by limb amputation and then discussed at length the challenges that would create day to day. We then examined existing works by foot and mouth painters and their techniques.

All that was left was for us to try it ourselves and we had a competition to see who could create the most accurate London skyline using only a foot or mouth!

The class produced some excellent results and many realised that as they went on their technique improved showing the benefit of practise and perseverance.
