We had an excellent trip to Kelvingrove today. We were focussing on the Scottish Colourists which tied in so well with our Scotland topic. May, who was our guide, was excellent and helped the children to critically analyse various paintings. She was able to teach about some of the techniques that the artists used. You should ask your child why they used mirrors.
The session was very interactive and the children loved being able to experiment with different media and techniques to create the own masterpiece!
