Year 2 Project

After Easter Year 2 children will be working on producing an Art Gallery to share with parents.  In preparation for this we would like the children to research an artist of their choice and produce a fact file or poster about their life.  It would also be lovely for the children to recreate some of their art work or produce their own art work in that style.  We have attached some information about different artists for anybody who does not have access to a computer for research.

We look forward to seeing your art work.
