Oh my goodness…this Pop Art picture by Olivia is absolutely awesome!  This is what her mum wrote… ‘Olivia decided to colour in multiple astronauts that she printed off, and selected bright colours to make it pop art. Olivia also enjoyed adapting an autographed NASA astronauts photo that he dad had and putting filters on the photo’s in powerpoint to try and create a pop art look.’ How fabulous Olivia that you have really thought about this project and then created this ‘work of art.  Very well done and thank you so much for sharing this with us.
