Unit of Inquiry: How We Express Ourselves

Different art forms reflect people’s creativity.

We have had the most wonderfully creative week and a half in Year 3 recently. Despite the rain day, this week the kids got their hands dirty and started to explore some art skills. On Wednesday and Thursday, the talented Year 3 staff provided an arts taster morning. The children choose three workshops to take part in: printing, mixed media, calligraphy, charcoal, clay and batik. During these workshops, the children practiced skills and techniques that will help them when after they have chosen which medium they would like to use in their end of unit piece. Every single child we spoke to said how much fun it was and could tell us all the skills they learnt. We hope they came home and shared that excitement with you. Maybe you could ask them to teach you some of the skills that they have learnt.
