As part of our bird collage project we explored printing with a range of fruits and vegetables this morning. We used complementary colours to achieve maximum contrast in our designs and they turned out so well! We are going to be using these patterned papers to create 3D collage birds in a few weeks time.

Following on from our fruit tasting we thought we would take our observational drawing to the next level with an invitation to create a still life of the fruit. We used a mix of mediums – oil pastels, pencils, coloured pencils and watercolours to explore different texture and effects.
