We were very lucky this term to have an artist in residence working with our phase. One day when she was working with my class she decided to create a large scale 2D piece of art work which every child in the class contributed to.
We talked about introducing a style of art to the children which was different to what they were used to and which could be built up in different layers over time.
Throughout the day the artist worked with small groups of children to create this wonderful recreation of Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh. The children thoroughly enjoyed the experience and love having the finished piece up in the classroom. It has wowed many other teachers in school!
Don't be afraid to create large whole class pieces of work as the final product is amazing!
