How We Express Ourselves

Dear Parents,
We have started with the second organizing theme (How We Express ourselves), main focus is Art. The children expressed themselves through a variety of art work using different media and art techniques. They are going to explore the basic shapes (circle-triangle-rectangle-square) in their surroundings and try to use shapes to form an art work just like the two French artists Sonia and Robert Delaunay. The children are going to make experiments using Primary Colors to deliver Secondary Colors.
