• Landscapes of the Future

  Mon 08 Jun 2015
  Today we had an artist in school working with a talented group of KS2 pupils. His sessions were all about landscape art and the children produced some fantastic work. First they learnt about perspective in drawing. Then they drew with scissors, making cut-outs then creating large crayon rubbings. Finally they made 3D pop-up landscapes. Paul, the artist running the workshop, complimented the group on their great attitudes, behaviour and hard work. Well done all of you - a credit to St Stephen's.
