Children from year one to year five have the opportunity to spend an hour in the art gallery exploring abstract paintings in preparation for their art workshops in school over the next two weeks.

Working with 1m long broomhandles we have built an icosahedron.
We have a den structure which is approcx 1.2m high and 2.2m in diameter.
The children from years 5 and 6 have worked really enthusiastically and had great fun felting triangle panels to cover the den frame. Using turban cloth as a base we have used the nuno felt technique to make 10 triangles. The last 5 will be made today ,4th July.
We used the idea of jungle to design our leafy camoflague pattern. We also have jungle animals, exotic birds and butterflies in the sky ( our den roof).
