Art project

Last week, the Year 6's and I did some really cool surrealist artwork that I thought you would enjoy too. 

We made surrealist portraits out of cardboard, layering the face shape to make the eyes, nose, hair and mouth. Then we painted them with bright colours and quirky patterns. This type of 3D art is called relief. They were quite simple to do and look very effective! If you make one, I would love to see it!
