My favourite of the five activities was collage, which is no surprise.  I learnt to create quick collages in my sketchbook which was new to me.  I also loved the colour activity and working with limited palettes, I explored some new colour combinations!

I enjoyed focussing on each area one at a time and having nature as my inspiration.  I felt as if I could repeat the activities many times and would like to extend the mixing materials, colour and collage experiments further.
