Art Enrichment at Swimbridge
Holly Laurence, an art specialist Teacher from the Team academy trust, led a virtual drawing masterclass across the Team Academy schools. The Discoverers class accessed this opportunity and explored line, shape and pattern forming. The children developed their drawing, watercolour and pastels knowledge and skills through the exploration of Indian rangoli patterns.
