ST PAUL’S year 3 and 4 students are studying the works of various artists and trying to replicate their work. They have studied Picasso. Mondrian and Van Gogh. Students also learn about the artists and their respective lives. Years 5 and 6 were discovering viscosity, density and diffusion by experimenting with liquids and building a density tower. A density tower is a column of different liquids which are not capable of getting mixed up with each other.
