We have been learning about Esther Mahlangu. She was an artist from South Africa. We were surprised to find out that she only learnt to paint when she was 10 years old! She was part of the Ndebele tribe and we loved looking at the bright traditional clothes that she wore. Her paintings are based on tradiaitonal wall paintings from the tribe and she travelled over the world sharing her art, including on a British Airways plane. We had a go at painting a pattern in bright, bold colours like Esther did, it was great fun!
