I’m planning to use ‘winter’ as the theme for my poetry unit, which I’ve deliberately left until the last week of term, before Christmas!

There are a few websites that I’ve found which allow you to quickly create art in the style of a famous artist.
Picasso style head: http://www.mrpicassohead.com/canvas.html
Vincent van Gogh style landscape: http://www.ngfl-cymru.org.uk/vtc/landscape_van_gogh/eng/Introduction/default.htm
My class also enjoy using these websites to create patterns.
