ART

Here are a few photos of artwork that the different grades have made over the past few weeks.

We learnt about Pablo Picasso’s abstract portraits and we made some collages of our own. We recognised that not all the art he made was as world famous as his most expensive artwork, called The Women of Algiers, but we had fun guessing how much it had sold for. An eye watering $179.4 million!
