We used found materials to make some art up in our woodlands!
Art Adventure in the Woodlands

Charcoal Observed Drawings
We went into the woodlands and we collected one special item each to draw with charcoals. We went to the fire pit to collect natural charcoal and used charcoal from our art supplies. The natural charcoal was harder to break and made a browny colour. We had to observe our special item really carefully and draw exactly what we saw. Â We blended the charcoals to show shadows and make our drawings look 3D.
Our thoughts about John Muir
We are creating a display to join out artwork and outdoor learning. These are some of our thoughts.
Sand Symmetry
We are learning about symmetry so we used our sandpit and things we found in the woodlands to create vertical and horizonal symmetrical patterns with a partner. One partner did one side and then the other completed the puzzle. It was great fun!
Tesco Art Competition
Last month we entered the Tesco Art Competition to try to win an artist workshop and have our work exhibited at the National Gallery. The group theme we chose was ‘Tree’ so we were inspired by our woodlands to create a big, brilliant collage using dyes, oil pastels and pen. We drew ourselves and hid around the picture in our favourite places to play. We love our woodlands and want to show it off!
Fingers crossed we will win!
