Year 3 visited The National Gallery to see the ‘Picasso Ingres – Face to Face’ exhibition.  Year 3’s focus artist this term is Picasso and the exhibition gave the pupils a chance to experience his work first-hand and compare it to the work of another great artist.  This will help them to complete Part B of their Arts Award.

The pupils also studied Henri Rousseau’s painting ‘Surprised!’  This is the focus painting for The National Gallery’s ‘Take One Picture’ project this year.  Schools are invited to make art works based on the focus painting and submit them to the gallery.  After successfully submitting work for exhibition on two previous occasions, we are aiming to make it a hat-trick!
