This project will allow pupils to explore and share the works of art from their local area. My pupils have been studying a group of local artists from the 19th Century who found fame for their realist style of painting. This would provide an opportunity to share their knowledge of the painters, their influences and their works of art. Pupils will create their own art work to be shared with our partner schools.
