Art

 We started our new art unit today looking at architecture. We talked about what architecture is and looked at some examples. We thought about architecture in our local area looking at Birds Eye views maps of Cowes to talk about the different shapes we could see. We then created sketch book pages of new and old architecture in the local area.
