Last week, during Art Week, 4Ash were exploring the art and designs of famous hat designer, ‘Philip Treacy’. Great fun was had by all trying to emulate his innovative and sometimes wacky creations.

5 Cedar In 5 Cedar for Art week we focused on the painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, stage designer, poet and playwright Pablo Picasso. We looked at the period of his work called cubism. The children loved making their own portraits in the style of Pablo Picasso.
