Last week, year 5 had lots of fun fruit tasting as part of International Week.  The class was filled with fruit from countries around the world. They were adventurous and had the opportunity to touch, smell and taste the different flavours of each fruit.

They also created live drawings of fruit. This lesson focused on observational drawing skills using colour.

Still live drawings teaches children how to layout a group of various objects such as fruit and how to shade or colour the drawings. how to look at objects and see them like an artist – with a perceptive awareness of their outline, shape, proportions, tone, colour, texture, form and composition.
