Art - painting



 

In Moscow Base we have started learning about Pirates!



We wanted to know what Pirates wear. So we started by looking in lots of information books to help us find 
out the answers. 

 

We compared what pirates wore in the past to what we wear now. It was really interesting and we even noticed that we don't have beards, swords or parrots! We also decided that some clothes that are from the past look old and a bit funny.

We then decided to make our own giant pirates. We had to think about matching colours to the right artifact, using the information from the books and pictures, patterns that we saw and what size brush was the best to use. 
 
They look fantastic! 
Watch out for our pirate display outside the classroom.
