Year 4 Class Artworks

This week the Year 4 Class created artworks from our natural environment.We were inspired by the world renown environmental artist, Andy Goldsworthy. Working in pairs, we created our own artwork using natural items which we found in our school grounds. We had to be creative and work collaboratively.
