As part of their South American topic, Year 5 have been studying Brazilian artist Beatriz Milhazes.  She is a contemporary artist whose work is vibrant, colourful and often geometric. Year 5 have started their journey to produce a piece of art in her style, by using a painted background and creating geometric shapes in different colours and textures to create their collages..  Watch this space for the finished artwork soon!  Mrs Blomeley
