Digital Art: Year 4

Year 4 have been exploring the fundamental of Digital Art in lessons this week. They responded to the artist Kandinsky by producing digital artworks in response to sounds.

These are their designs which a both inspired by the artist Kandinsky and also the very special concert we had at school by a string quartet from the Cavantina Trust. Look out for our designs in the playground and take a look at the examples below!
