Thank you Sophie, I love teaching this project. They really mastered blending the colours using small amounts of paint. Can’t wait to display them! 🀩

Brilliant! Love the variety of work and use of media. Newspaper and book pages are a great drawing background too!

Thanks Darrell! Lee Miller and Robert Capa were ahead of their time, all the images including other photographers were so poignant and seem very relevant in these current times. A very memorable project that gave me goosebumps a number of times.

I am so proud of Y6, powerful images from our WW2 drawing focus studying iconic photography including Lee Miller and Robert Capa and the art of Henry Moore and Paul Nash. Super proud 🀩 @sophieleach.bsky.social @artteachjess.bsky.social @darrellwakelam.bsky.social @penahay.bsky.social #PrimaryArt

Female workers in US steel mills, WW2 (c.1942) were a subject for photographer Margaret Bourke-White. They were known as 'Rosies' based on the 'Rosie the Riveter' icon, which represented women who worked in factories and shipyards when men were absent in war #WomrnsArt

I know I don’t often share my β€˜other’ artwork here, but tributes to the legends deserve an exception…
