What a fantastic day we have had in year 5! We were lucky enough to have a visit by Bridget Arnold who is a DAISI artist (Daisi Arts in Schools Initiative) Bridget is a silk painter who creates banners and flags. She showed us how to use a material called Gutta to draw onto stretched silk and then use brightly coloured inks to colour in. Bridget also showed us how you can sprinkle salt onto the wet paint to create different effects. We use the theme of fish from our Diversity project as our inspiration. The finished banners will be on display at the KS2 Art Exhibition on Friday- so please come and have a look at our work.

We would also like to thank The Helen Foundation for supporting this event.
