As part of our overall topic this term, the Lake District, children have been exploring artists who were inspired by the region. 

We began the lesson by watching some aerial footage of different places in the Lakes and were given 5 minutes to experiment with our new medium of watercolours. Children were asked to use colours that they saw and paint lines to represent what they saw. There were lots of jagged grey lines for the mountains and crags and flowing, smooth lines for lakes and rivers.

We then began to explore John Ruskin, looking at his work and creating our own sketchbook pages inspired by him.
