Experimental Mark Making with Year 5

This term Year 5 are studying the theme of 'Movement'. As part of this, the pupils spent a lesson exploring movement through experimental mark making. The first half of the lesson was spent creating their own paintbrushes from a range of natural and man-made materials. In the second half of the lesson the students painted with their new paintbrushes using ink. A wide variety of effects were created in this way. The drawings that the pupils created in this lesson will be incorporated into a larger final piece later in the term.
