Arts Week: Digital art effects
As part of Arts Week, Year 1 Puffins have today been using digital media to add affects on our focus artist Georgia O’Keeffe’s drawing.
The children used a website called Pop Art Studio to add various effects to a flower drawing by Georgia O’Keeffe.
The children learned quickly how easily and quickly effects can be applied to an image.
Here are some examples of children’s work.
