Everyone welcome! # Year 3- Art: Expressing Identity Through Tie-Dye ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-79B69CA6-9D73-4DC7-97C6-31FFB760364D.png) 28 January 2026 In Art today, Year 3 Artists took the next step in their creative journey by tie-dyeing their own T-shirts. Building on the mood boards they previously created—which showcased their unique personalities and interests- the children used them as a foundation to express their individuality through vibrant colours and patterns. We began by analysing last year’s examples to spark inspiration, then discussed how specific visual choices can represent who we are as individuals. While the shirts are currently sitting, the children are already super excited to wash and dry them tomorrow to see their final designs come to life. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-79B69CA6-9D73-4DC7-97C6-31FFB760364D.png) [Year 3](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Art and Design](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/art-and-design) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_0162.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-01-27-author-visit-sean-perkins) Previous ### [Author Visit: Sean Perkins](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-01-27-author-visit-sean-perkins) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_1444.JPG)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-01-29-year-4-english-for-or-against-deforestation) Next ### [Year 4 - English: For or Against Deforestation?](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-01-29-year-4-english-for-or-against-deforestation) ### Personal Development - [News](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
