Beautiful Lantern Art

When we visited the Horniman Museum, we were blown away by the beauty of the painted lanterns hanging in the main lobby. We decided to make some of our own, but with a Togolese twist!

Each group designed their lantern, to include images or symbols of Togo.

Then we carefully and gently painted the lanterns, using watercolour paints and very thin brushes. The lanterns are very fragile so we had to be gentle to avoid tearing the paper.

The completed lanterns will be illuminated and on display at the School Art Exhibition in the hall tomorrow (Friday). Do come and see them!
