The children in year 4 had an amazing day at the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle. They had the opportunity to explore the gallery and learn about all of the different paintings that were there. We looked particularly at landscape paintings as we are studying Paul Cezanne’s mountains in class.
Whilst there we also took part in a very useful workshop. We learnt all the different techniques for painting with watercolours. We learnt how to blend, blotch and build up colours and then used our new skills to create our own landscape paintings. We will also use these new skills throughout our topic and we cannot wait to create some masterpieces that may someday be on display in a magnificent gallery!
