Our final wave image compositions

Here are some of the completed multi media wave images produced by Year 5. We are so proud of them and will be putting them on display!

How can we use all the skills we have learnt to produce an image of a wave?

The children planned their own wave image today. They considered the composition of their image and what materials they would use, based on their experiences over the last three weeks art lessons. Here are some of the plans.
