We have been busy collecting old boxes and other bits to reuse for our junk-modelling project! We carefully designed our animals first in our art sketch books and then got to work! We used scissors to cut pieces to the right size and then masking tape to attach.

Year 2 have been feeling festive and doing a lot of arts and crafts. We have made calendars for our families, Christmas cards and decorations.
Year 2 focused on their painting skills this week. We thought about how to comfortably hold our paintbrush, loading the brush with the right amount of paint and painting long flowing strokes across the page. By doing all of this the children created a fiery background which they then added a silhouette of buildings to represent the Great Fire of London.
Year 1 have been learning how to use a variety of circles to create abstract art!
Year 4 had a great day last half term celebrating all of their learning about Ancient Greece. The children were asked to bring in a home project all about Ancient Greece. They did a brilliant job and were very brave standing in front of the class for their presentations. We also recapped everything we have learned this half term and made some Ancient Greek recipes. Did you know the Ancient Greeks didn't have tomatoes?

In Art today Year 2 were drawing for pleasure! We decided as our topid is Myths and Legends, that we would have a go at drawing dragons. Lots of us thought this was going to be really tricky and took a look of stregth to have a go and keep at it. By the end you can see on our faces, how proud we are of our final drawings.
This week we have started our new topic 'Marvellous Me'. We have each been given a special sketch book and have had a lesson about drawing self-portraits today. We thought carefully about different parts of the body and things that make us special, like eye colour, smiles, hairs, etc. We sat at our very own tables and concentrated on our portraits, then shared them proudly with our classmates!
Year 2 have been learning that everybody is an artist and no art is ever wrong! We have started the year by creating our own sketchbooks that we will be adding to over the coming weeks.
Year 3 have created a unique piece of mixed media art inspired the story, 'What we will Build' by Oliver Jeffers. Take a look:-
Today is the final session in our Human Form art series of lessons. We have created self portraits in the style of Julian Opie, a British artist. His style is simplistic and focuses on simple lines, it was quite tricky not adding too much detail to our drawings. Can you see the resemblences?
Year 3 have been looking at tone, shadow and negative space in Art. In this weeks lesson we had the challenge of using black paint on white paper to create a self portrait. We were inspired by the art work of celebrated street artist BANKSY who uses tone and minimal colours to great effect in his work. We took some silly photos and digitally made them greyscale. We looked at how the negative space in the photo were the lighter areas in our portraits and suggested features. We then had a go at reproducing them in paint. It was very difficult but we all did our very best. Take a look:-
Today, Year 1 were given the construction challenge to build a flower out of blocks. Willow class worked in small groups and were fantastic listeners! Cedar class worked as a class and created one group flower.
Well done Year 1, you competed today's construction challenge!
We have been learning that art is in the eye of the beholder. Drawing should be fun, there is no right or wrong and everyone will do it differently. We chose to all follow the same steps to draw poppies for Remembrance Day. We compared eachothers and all agreed that they all look beautiful. What do you think?
Year 3 have worked hard to produce and finish their cave art. Take a look at our efforts:-
Year 3 had lots of fun this afternoon trying to create paint of different shades with natural resources. We did some foraging around the school and at home and then tried to use the resources we had collected to see if we could produce some colour. We then had a try at making our own paint with flour, water and a variety of spices. Have a look at how we got on and why not have a go at home yourself?
As well as scaling up their animal drawings yesterday, Year 3 also experimented using charcoal. Not only were they drawing and blending with charcoal and chalk, they had a lot of fun crushing it up and smudging it with their hands to create that 'cave' effect. Take a look at their efforts:-
Year 3 started their Prehistoric art work yesterday. They began by finding out about the incredible Lascaux's Prehistoric Cave Paintings They noticed the amazing animal drawings and then had a go at observing and sketching some British animals. Have a look:-
