Fantastic Fire of London Art!

Over the next two weeks we are having a go at a range of artwork to express our ideas about the fire of London...this week we are using paints to make portraits of the scene, and pastels to blend and achieve a 'fire' effect and adding a silhouette of London with black sugar paper. Next we will be trying textiles, batik and marbling. Here we are in action...look out for photo's of the finished pieces!

Super detail, fantastic wooden timbres!
