· Examining pieces of art based on ethical/moral concerns raised by artists i.e.: War/ racism

Year 1 used mixed media to create an image of the Owl Who Was Scared of the Dark, which they studied in Literacy. They used Brusho to create a background, then cut out shapes to stick on to represent branches.
Next they used shapes to print to represent the owl and finally, they used felt pen to give a good definition to their work.
