 What We Did
We tried to represent some of the well known buildings in Milton Keynes and we also looked at the vast range of sports, theatre, music and
art that takes place in the city.
We worked in a variety of mediums - charcoal, pastels, watercolours, collage, papier mache and salt dough.
Clock Tower at Neath Hill by Naisah, age 11
Naisah found "it easy to model and really enjoyed painting it".

New Bradwell Windmill by Shaun, age 11
Shaun "liked the stone effect of the windmill after the dough had been cooked".

The Concrete Cows by Alice and Kirsty, age 11
Alice and Kirsty "liked the feel of the dough" and "found it easy to model and enjoyed painting it".

MK Lions Basketball Team by Joshua, age 11
Joshua was keen to represent the huge amount of sport available in Milton Keynes.

Peace Pagoda by several students, age 11
The class was keen to know where this pagoda was so they could view it, thus enhancing their awareness of the area.

Our Picture of Britain Display, by all students
A display of some of the children's work using many different forms of media.

Final Thoughts
Students: We found it easier
to work with salt dough than we did with clay as it was easier
to model and create intricate designs. We also enjoyed learning
more about our own area.
Teacher: The children really
enjoyed the opportunity to work with so many different media
and focus on their artwork, especially after the intensity
of the SATs in previous weeks. They were very proud of the
work that they produced.
