This week in the Broomy’s Bairns Art Class, the kids got busy with some scissors and glue and made collages!

Some of the children taught us something new that they had learnt at school!  They used chalk pastels to rub onto paper then washed over with a paint brush, dipped in water so that the chalk marks had the effect of watercolours.

Afterwards, we got all their collages and paintings on the wall to let the Broomy’s Bairns see how they could all look together.
