Nick Rowland Volcano Artwork

By Art, History, Uncategorized, Year 4

Y4 have been learning about the famous volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79AD. In our art linked to this topic, we have looked at the artist Nick Rowland and his volcano artwork. The children have tried to imitate Nick Rowland’s style by splashing bright paint on to their pastel pictures. The results were extremely effective (but a bit messy-sorry!) Here are some of the children’s amazing work!
