In Year One, we has a look at Inuit people and some of the reasons they made Inukshuks. We had a go at creating them using stones (very challenging). We moved on to making the using Jenga blocks and finally boxes! We attempted to make a whole class Inukshuk with interesting results!

We continued our work on atmospheric perspectives by producing lunar landscapes last week. Using our knowledge of colour mixing, shades, tints and silhouettes, the children created some beautiful work, which was then admired by its namesake, when we had a surprise visit from Mr Wilson and Luna! 🐶

Year 5 and 6 have been working hard to learn how to draw with one point perspective. They have been creating pencil drawings of a street using a vanishing point where the details disappear. They then used a view finder to zoom in on one aspect of the picture and created a three colour reduction […]

Year 2 worked really hard yesterday afternoon completing their fish sculptures. The gummed paper had dried and hardened, so we used the dotty technique we learned earlier in the unit to decorate our fish in Indigenous Australian style.

We used piles and piles of newspaper (thanks to everyone who brought some in) to create “shells”, smooth-topped shapes, which we then attached to large cardboard fish. Once we’d built up a nice fat fish shape, we covered the whole thing in layers of gummed […]

Year One have started their art topic about 3D art! We looked closely at pebbles and stones. We described the shapes and surfaces of the stones before trying to turn them into 3D art. We investigated which stones stack well and how we can arrange them in different ways.
