Art through school

All classes have been extremely busy with their artwork this half term. Have a look at what each class has been doing below! Year 1 have been focusing on printmaking. This week they have been working on their stippling, cross hatching and hatching to create depth. They have used their stippling skills to make artwork […]

Year 2 Art – Printmaking

This week, Year 2 explored printmaking and the different ways you can arrange prints. We discussed making jumbled prints and organised prints. Our exploration allowed us to try out creating different shapes and gave us the opportunity to learn from the mistakes we made. All using potatoes!

Building bridges in Reception

Sometimes we build literal bridges so we can navigate a flooded garden and sometimes we build bridges with new learning. Making connections, developing our understanding of new concepts and always moving forwards!

Mark making, art lessons and peer reviewing in Reception

A while ago one of our friends announced that they were very good at drawing dragons. An art movement was born and friends flocked to the quiet corner to learn his wise ways! Here are the results of some excellent teaching from four year olds 🎨

Reception learn about Cloisonnism

One of our friends in class made a beautiful drawing at home and became an art table leader. We decided her art style looked a lot like Cloisonnism as she used dark pen for outlines and light colours inside her outlines!

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! 🐶
