The children have been discovering the different styles and techniques artists can have and use.

We had a brilliant time during our Ancient Greek workshop with Durham University! We learned about Greek city states and what life was like for people who lived in them. We used our archaeology skills to work out what ancient artefacts were, and even performed ‘The Medea’, a play by Euripides.

We had lots of fun using different tools to paint with. Art – S3 Article 28, 29
