Flower Portraits in Year 2
This week in our topic, 'The Beauty of Flowers' Year 2 have been discovering artists who are inspired by flowers. They have explored the work of Jutine Blakeney and used real flowers to create their own floral portraits. It was a creative and enjoyable afternoon, with the children observing closely and experimenting with colour and position. We hope you loved seeing what they created!
