This week we asked our students to paint or draw anything on the theme of Ireland. We have received some amazing paintings this week, incredible in fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Student Bhawna Sinha&#8217;s landscape artwork adorns our featured image this week. Scroll to the bottom of the page to see it in full. We love Bhawna&#8217;s painting and hope you all do too! Bhawna said&#8230; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>My \u201cweekend challenge &#8216;Ireland\u2019 this large scale rock formation is County Sligo is a dramatic and majestic with an elevation of 1,726 feet. It\u2019s a highly photographed subject in the county due to its shapely formation and steep cliff faces.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>We want to give a big shout out to student Becky Harpur who took photos and posted them on our Facebook Group for our students to use too. Thank you so much Becky that was very kind of you. You can see Becky&#8217;s wonderful artwork below of a bluebell woodland in Ireland near to where Becky lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Student Shailaja Rathinavel&#8217;s seascape painting is equally as stunning we think you will agree, so much depth and space in the cliffs and water. Superb! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone has worked really hard this week and we really hope that our students enjoyed the challenge. We also hope that these challenges takes our students out of their comfort zone and brings a little extra spice to their art! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-background\">We hope that everyone enjoyed this challenge.
