Year 1 Art – Inukshuk

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!

Lunar landscapes (and Luna seeing landscapes)

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! 🐶

Yr 5 & 6 Art

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 […]

y2 sculpture: finished fish

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.

Contour lines in LKS2

In geography today, year 3 and 4 learnt about contour lines and topography. We had a go at creating some contour mountains, which came out AMAZING! We worked in out pairs to slowly trace and cut out our different intervals before gluing them together.

y2 Sculpture

Year 2 have been working hard creating our 3D fish. 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 1 Art – Stacking Stones

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.

LKS2 Atmospheric Perspective

LKS2 have been exploring atmospheric perspective in Art this half-term. We learned about the background, middle ground and foreground of landscape paintings and discovered how the light hits each part differently to produce a sense of perspective. This made us think about the science of light, and how we see, in order to try and […]

Making maps in preschool

We have carried on with our learning and are dying our maps with teabags so they look aged. We are also rolling them up so they look like scrolls and ripping the edges.

Y2 art: the creation of life

Year 2 continued their art topic this week, looking at Danny Eastwood’s work called “The Creation of Life.” We spotted some similarities this piece has with other indigenous Australian art. We then created our own fish shape, which we painted in a similar style using earthy coloured acrylics.
