We finished Term One with a Halloween-themed process art project Each child found wooden Halloween cut-outs waiting on their desk, ready to be transformed into something unique. Using paint markers, the children began by adding their own colours and designs before heading to our communal art area, where a selection of embellishments awaited them. The children were encouraged to explore the materials, experiment with different combinations and use as many supplies as they wish

We began by tracing a template to establish the dog's nose, then used direct line drawing to develop the rest of our dog portraits. With bold lines, expressive features and a focus on capturing the character of each dog, our drawings quickly came to life. But the real fun began when we introduced the intense ink colours! We experimented with vibrant hues, adding splashes of colour

To finish, we added fine details using paint markers and, of course, a touch of beauti

Some summers leave behind more than sunny memories. This one left us with paint-splashed aprons, proud smiles, new friendships, and a play area that has already changed the feel of our days.
