Willow class have been learning about the Indus Valley civilization. The area of this civilization extended along the Indus River from what today is northeast Afghanistan, into Pakistan and northwest India.

India is one of the oldest civilizations in the world and the children explored the traditional block printing technique, which has been used since the 12th century to create bold and vibrant patterns.

During their art lessons the children made their own block print using a design they had created. They chose a design based on Indus writing or Indian patterns, or a mixture of the two. Look how detailed they are!

These designs are ready to print onto paper and then fabric using paint to create the bold and beautiful designs the children learnt about. Please look out for them on the website.
