This week, we were lucky enough to have Kerry come in to talk to the children about our new expedition. She was unfortunate enough to have experienced the flooding in Fishlake in 2019 and explained to the children how her family and neighbours were affected by this terrible event.
World Art Day is a day dedicated to creating and celebrating all types of artwork.
By celebrating World Art Day, it is hoped that this will encourage creativity, teach people about different artists and share a love for art all over the world.
It is celebrated each year, on 15th April, which is believed to be the birthday of the world famous artist, Leonardo da Vinci.

How many famous artists do you know?
Cubism is an art movement that shows people or objects from lots of angles at the same time. It often makes the artwork look broken up or like it is made from cubes.
Pablo Picasso and the artist George Braque invented Cubism as a new form of art.
Have a go at creating your own cubist artwork with an object from your home by drawing it from many angles or print and colour the cubist guitar below.
Bring your completed artwork to share in crew next week!
