Art Exhibition

 

Today everyone in school looked at the art all the pt england students had done.

My favorite part was finishing the drawings I did. 

I think the year 7 and 8’s art looked like they put a lot of effort into it but it also looked amazing!

I hope to be just as good as them at art when I'm a year 7.
