Year 5 have been getting creative in art, inspired by the brilliant artist Clare Youngs. Clare makes colourful animal collages using lots of different shapes, patterns and textures – and we decided to have a go ourselves!

Our theme was rainforest animals. We created creatures like butterflies, jaguars, toucans, birds and monkeys. First, we drafted our ideas and sketched out how our animals might look. Then came the really exciting part – working with a partner to create a final collage together. It was great fun to share ideas, combine our designs and see how two brains could come together to make one amazing piece of artwork.

The finished collages are bright, bold and full of rainforest life. They look incredible on display and really show off our teamwork as well as our creativity.

We’re so proud of what we’ve made – Clare Youngs would be too!
