This half-term, children across Firs Farm Primary School immersed themselves in Art Week, a vibrant celebration filled with inspiration, imagination, and exceptional creativity. The project focused on building students' confidence in their own abilities while broadening their understanding of art history, genres, and diverse artistic styles. From Year 1 to Year 6, every year group dedicated time to sharpening their drawing skills, experimenting with a wide range of media to master key concepts in pattern, texture, and colour.
