This week the children looked at the work of self-taught artist, Alfred Wallis. He was a fisherman who lived in Cornwall and loved to paint the sea.

The children began by painting the sea. They used wax crayons to create a resist. When they painted over the wax, the paint stuck to the paper, but not the wax, creating a feeling of the waves.

The children designed a piece of seaside bunting in the style of Alfred Wallis, using images of Morecambe. They used fabric crayons to create the texture of paint.
