Our Visit to the Art Gallery

Today the children from Jellyfish Cove took the bus to the Christchurch Art Gallery. We looked at the work of various artists as preparation for our own Art Exhibition. The tutors - Bianca and Sarah introduced us to some paintings by Bridget Reilly - an English artist. She used pointillism to create images of landscapes. 
Pointillism is a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots of colour are applied in patterns to form an image. We used this technique to create our own works of art.
