This week, the children in Year 5 were introduced to a new art concept called ‘batik’.
The children completed a reading exercise to find out more information about batik, including how long it has been used for and what countries it originated from. Then, we moved on to investigating how different materials could be deconstructed (using methods such as ripping, tearing, pulling twirling and cutting) and how materials could be reconstructed.
The children were given the task of creating an aerial view of a river landscape, as our topic title for this term is ‘River of Life’, using different materials they had deconstructed. The children were very creative in their approach to their artwork, with some children choosing to collage their materials and others choosing to create a 3D design.
