Step 3 - Exploring the work of Pete Cromer through drawings and repeating his idea of layering paper

Step 4 - Planning our own piece of art work

Step 5 - Making our own 'textured'  paper using different tones colour.

Children mixed differnt colours and tones to create a 'texture' that could be used as the main body of our animal. They were also given the opportunity to use pastels to create their textured paper. Everyone wass then left to dry, ready to assembly together.

Step 6 - Using geometic and organic shapes to build up layers, to create my final piece.
