Next week sees the first Busylizzie Art & Literacy ‘outing’ to work out of Somerset, in a Plymouth Primary School… Linking the skills of drawing and painting to developing vocabulary, inference, deduction and detail in written description will be the order of the day – or rather two days to be spent in a largeContinue reading “Busylizzie Art is on the way to Plymouth!”
Look what I found!
It’s hard to believe that Busylizzie Art’s first ‘Art in School’ project was back in the autumn term of 2013! Whilst searching my extensive store of images for this wonderful new website, I happened upon these truly amazing paintings by the children at Bishop Henderson Primary School in Taunton… The paintings are by seven to tenContinue reading “Look what I found!”
