Wow! Wow! Wow! Just look at this totally awesome volcano that Rafe has created! This is what his mum wrote:

Rafe made this paper mache volcano out of newspaper. It took us a while but he is really pleased with the end result and has been playing with it using some of his mythical creatures. It’s his new ‘lava world’.  Well done Rafe…I think your creation is ‘out of this world’!  Thank you for sharing it with us!

Oh my goodness, just take a look at this amazing butterfly that Darcy (Year 4) has created.  This is what her mum has written, “Darcy has really enjoyed the art project this week. She has made a paper mache butterfly. It’s not just any butterfly….. its a double sided giant butterfly 🙂 It has been messy but incredibly fun!!!”  Bravo Darcy and thank you so much for sharing this with us!

Look at these fantastic ghoulish ghosts that Aaron (Year 5) has made.  I think their expressions are just fab…thanks for sharing Aaron!

 

Take a look at this beautiful flower that Emi (Year 4) has created, using newspaper.  It is clear that she has patiently and diligently cut very individual ‘petal’ and the overall affect looks stunning.  Thank you so much for sharing this with us Emi!

Wow! Wow! Wow! Fern (Year 5) has made it onto the cover of Vogue….and I’m not surprised! ‘Introducing Fern, who as you can see, is modelling her latest creation, a fabulous dress made entirely out of newspaper. It is clear that she has used her artistic flair to the full and I particularly like the detail around the collar…I think a career in the fashion industry may be beckoning!’  This is what the fashion world has been waiting for and as it says on the front cover, it is modelled by The most beautiful girl in the world… and I think it would be hard to argue with that.  Amazing work Fern and thank you so much for sharing this with us!

I love this spooky, haunted house that Sabrina (Year 5) has made, complete with newspaper ghosts. Brilliant work Sabrina and thanks for sharing!

Goodness me! These planets are totally awesome and these brothers have worked really hard all week to create them.  This is what their mum wrote: “Here are our  newspaper art work for this week. It has taken the boys from Tuesday, until Friday, to create their planets. They were very patient. Kian (Year 6) has done Earth, Dillon (Year 1) has done Saturn and Conor (Year 4) has created Neptune from paper mache.”  I am so pleased you persevered and had the patience to complete these planets because the end result is fantastic.  Thanks for sharing these with us!

Wow! This a an absolute MASTERPIECE! Lola (Year 3) has done an amazing job,  as it looks simply stunning.  This is what her mum wrote: “She has used her own magazines to cut out some ‘word art’ to form the statement ‘Art is Amazing, by Lola’. She has then added pictures from the magazines showing some of her favourite animals, celebrities and fruit! Finally, the background has been coloured in to form a rainbow!” Thank you so much for sharing this with us Lola!

These spectacular butterflies have been carefully made by Florence (Year R) and she has done a fab job because I think they look amazing.  This is what Florence said: ” Mum & I looked for ideas to make with paper & came across a video to make these butterflies. I picked some colourful pages from last week’s radio times to make them.” Thanks for sharing them with us Florence!

Wow! Just look at this! Amelia (Year 1) did a brilliant paper mache balloon Her mum says,  “She was amazed that when it dried and she popped the balloon the newspaper stayed in shape.  She made her own paper mache paste from flour and water as we had none at home..” Another new skill you have learnt Amelia…Well done to you and mummy and thanks for sharing!

Oh my goodness!  Just look at this truly stunning hat that Alana (Year 4) has made completely out of newspaper!  Alana skillfully moulded the newspaper into shape and then she  got to use her water mixable oil colours so she developed the new skill of  mixing the paint correctly  to get the right consistency.  Amazing results Alana!  It is just a shame that Ascot is cancelled this year as it would look fabulous there…maybe next year!  Thank you for sharing this with us.

 Denzel has been busy creating at home and he learned to make these brilliant boast with old calendar and I think that they are superb.  He is now waiting for it tos stop raining so that he can go outside and play with them! Fantastic work Denzel and thanks for sharing them!

What a beautiful flower that Emma (Year 4) has mad, using newspaper.  Equally beautiful is the message ‘HOPE’ that goes with it.  Thank you for sharing this with us Emma.

I love these ‘cute’ newspaper ghosts that Eva (Year 5) has made. Thanks for sharing them Eva!

Wow!  I think that this newspaper picture by Calin (Year 4) is simply stunning!  I know it has taken him a great deal of time and effort to create this ‘masterpiece’, but I’m so glad he did because the end result is just brilliant.  Thank you so much, Calin, for sharing this with us!

Goodness me! What a fantastic array of zoo animals that Tommy (Year 4) and Chloe (Year 2) have made.  It must have taken a great deal of time and patience to carefully cut them all out.  Well done – and thank you for sharing!

Wow! Just have a look at this totally adorable fairy that Eva (Year 2) has carefully made out of crepe paper and pipe cleaners.  I think it looks absolutely stunning! Thank you so much for sharing this with us Eva!

Finally he  placed a Alkaline-Seltzer tablet into the glass. The end result looks spectacular.  Thanks for  sharing this with us Cian.

Wow! Just take a look at these incredible insects that Christina (Year R) has created.  These insects have taken Christina a long time to make them. First she carefully moulded them into shape and once they had hardened she carefully coloured her insects in.  I know they took Christina a long time, but the effort was well worth it because they are totally amazing! The insects are now dry and ready to go on her shelf at her room… I bet they will look awesome in there.  Well done Christina and thank you so much for sharing them with us.

Look at this terrific party blower that Humphrey (Year 1) has made for his art project this week.  I wonder if he can play any tunes with it, or if he can use it to wake up his family first thing in the morning!  Thanks for sharing this with us Humphrey.

The children from Starfish class listened to a story all about feelings.  They then drew an animal linked to how they felt. Christina drew a parrot because she loves colours and adventure and Noah drew a giraffe because he was feeling tall!

How are you feeling?

I continue to be amazed by the  fantastic artwork that has been shared on the Blog..huge thanks to everyone who has taken the time to email their creations to me.

 I have been busy in school this week, but have also found the time to attend to my garden, in between the blustery winds and odd shower!  Our tortoise, Shelley, has also been enjoying the garden, but I was less impressed when she broke free and started to eat my plants!  Lots of you will know how long it has taken me to grow and nurture them, so it was a shock to see Shelley nibbling my fuchsia bush!

Anyway…this week’s challenge:

Read all about it! St Peter’s are IN THE NEWS!

For this week’s Art Challenge I would like you to produce some art using old newspapers or magazines!  It can be anything from cutting out shapes and creating your own abstract art, or landscape, to making something using Paper Mache.  What you make can be left black and white or even painted (using watercolours is very effective).  Whatever you create I’m sure you will ‘Make the headlines’ on the Art Blog!

Ideas to inspire you:

However, if this doesn’t appeal to you can still send any other art work to me and I will post that on the Blog too.

Please email your artwork to me:

He did two different versions, but then decided this was too tricky to transfer onto the brick!! He then drew a rabbit! We have been planting in our flower bed and when digging a hole for some lavender Mostyn dug up this huge brick!

Just look at this stunning picture that Lola (year 3) has created.  This is what her mum wrote about it: ‘Lola’s ‘animal inspiration’ comes from the fact that during our daily walks, we go and say ‘hello’ to a number of horses that are kept in fields local to us. We don’t know any details of these horses, however, Lola has fallen for each of them, even giving them names; Bella, Blaze, Buttercup, Blacksmith, Blueberry, Bonnie and Beauty. Lola’s picture is of ‘Blaze’ who has a stripe across her left shoulder. The rainbow reference relates to the Covid 19 crisis and that we remain forever hopeful!’  What a totally brilliant reason for your artwork this week Lola.  Thank you for sharing this with us Lola…and mum!

I hope you have all had a lovely half term and have managed to get outdoors and enjoy the magnificent weather.

I have managed to get out and about on my bike and enjoy the local area.  I often cycle through Queen’s Inclosure Woods and have recently discovered Billy’s Lake, which is beautiful.

Many of you will know that I have been doing lots of gardening in the last few weeks.  I was getting frustrated at the lack of flowers, considering all my hard work, but in the last ten days everything seems to have sprung to life.  I am particularly pleased with my poppies….maybe I do have green fingers after all!

ANIMAL MAGIC!

Anyway…back to business!….For this week’s Art Challenge I would like you to produce some art that is linked to ANIMALS!  Your animal can live on the land, in the sea or the sky. If you prefer, you can make your own mythical animal from your own imagination… or even a fusion of two animals.  It can be a drawing, a painting, it can be made from a kitchen roll tube,  a painted stone, made from things you find in the woods or at the beach or anything else that you can think of. I’m sure you will  create something ‘magical’, as always!

Ideas to inspire you:

However, if this doesn’t appeal to you can still send any other art work to me and I will post that on the Blog too.

Please email your artwork to me:

We are fortunate to have so many talented families at St Peter’s that have impressed everyone with their creativity over the last few weeks.  I have had many, many people message me to say how fantastic the Art Blog is from, parents, staff, children and parishioners from Sacred Heart.  All of this makes me feel a little guilty because it isn’t my art they are praising it is all of your fabulous creations, so I pass their praise on to each and everyone who has taken the time to email me with your art…you really are a talented bunch!

In other news, I had some great surprises on Monday…it was my birthday and some delightful children from Year 1 put together a beautiful medley of birthday messages and songs!  I also had lots of birthday wishes via email and a lovely picture from these sisters..

…so thank you for making my birthday so special.

This week there will be NO HOME LEARNING SET.  Instead, I would like you to get out and about ( within the Government guidelines of course!)  and enjoy the beauty of art that is all around us and I hope that inspires you to always think creatively.

Enjoy a relaxing half term!

Keep creating and keep safe

Kindest wishes

Mrs Pearson

Goodness me Natalia has been busy creating again!  Today she has made the famous landmark Stonehenge  out of her dad’s old toy wooden blocks, which are very old, but not as  old like Stonehenge! Natalia, you have done a brilliant job of recreating Stonehenge – thank you and thanks to your dad for lending you his wood blocks from his childhood!

Wow! I’m blown away by this creation! Aurora (Year 4) has recreated Stonehenge using bricks and building materials from her back garden. It is not only clever and creative, but the fact that the photo is in black and white adds to the overall effect. Bravo Aurora and thank you for sharing this with us.

Look at this fabulous creation that has been made by Raffaella (Year 1).  She has created a castle (complete with moving portcullis) out of cardboard and other recycling materials we had at home.  This is an amazing piece of artwork and Raffaella should be very proud of herself.  Great work and thanks for sharing!

Wow!  What a terrific tower bridge that Phoebe (Year 1) has made using Lego. Great work Phoebe and thank you for sharing this with us!

 Caelan (Year 1) and his Mummy researched  famous landmarks across the world. Caelan then decided he wanted to use his Duplo to make the Tokyo Tower and Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament.  He should be very proud of his efforts…well done Caelan!

Callum (Year 4) and Chloe (Year 2) worked together and have done an amazing job creating famous landmarks, using lolly sticks. They chose Big Ben, the Effiel Tower,  the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Harland and Wolff cranes, which built the Titanic in Belfast where their grandparents live. Wow! They have done a terrific job – thank you so much for sharing these with us.

These brothers always give 100% to any art project they do and as you can see from these fantastic paintings they have again today! They both decided to  paint the Eiffel Tower and used their fingertips to create dots like the technique of pointillism, first made famous by Georges Seurat. Kiean’s (Year R) Eiffel Tower looks spectacular with a yellow background because he says the sun shines everywhere. Max (Year One) has  done a magnificent multi-coloured Eiffel Tower with two contrasting colours for the background and another two at the bottom, which gives an amazing overall effect.  Fantastic work boys and thank you so much for sharing these pictures.  I’m sure you will inspire others to give this technique a try!

Sabrina (Year 5) has been practising her drawing skills and she has done an excellent job drawing these two people.   Great job Sabrina and thanks for sharing!

Caitlin then went on to create this magnificent Minecraft set with the help of her dad.  I know this took a long time but it was worth it as it look amazing.  Well done Caitlin…..and Dad!

Goodness me these sisters have been very creative today. Their mum said,  “The girls enjoyed making clay models , they used their own imagination and thought about what they like and I do have to say I like what they made!”  I totally agree with their mum, they done an absolutely fabulous job and they should be very proud of themselves!  Well done  Christina (Year R), Emma (Year 4) and Eva (Year 5)…I always love seeing what you create!

Oh my goodness!  This fabulous  picture has been made by Rozalia (Year R), after a trip to the forest where she collected  a variety of natural materials.  She then came home and carefully created this lovely image.  This reminds me of Andy Goldsworthy and the art he creates, using natural materials.  Fantastic work Rozalia and thank you for sharing this with us.

Wow! Look at this wonderful pinwheel that Amelia has made as part of her RE homework.  It looks so beautiful and would brighten up any garden.  Well done Amelia and thanks for sharing!

Thank you again for all the  fabulous contributions to the Art Blog this week – I am constantly amazed by your creativity.  I was particularly touched by Mrs Moore sending a photo of her niece, Beverley, in her nurses’ uniform standing next to a print of the Banksy that was the inspiration for our superhero challenge.

In other news, our VE posters were displayed at Portsmouth Naval base and if you look on Mr Cunningham’s Blog you will see a letter of thanks.

Also Jonah (Year 3) did his VE Day project about the Monument Men and his mum sent it to the Monument Men society and they want to use his work for educational resources.

Congratulations Jonah!

For this week’s Art Challenge I would like you to produce some art that is linked to a famous landmark.  Your landmark can be natural or man-made. It can be a drawing, a sculpture made from recycled materials, a collage, something made out of pebbles and twigs ,  it could be drawn on a tablet or made out of Lego, or indeed  anything else that you can think of.  I have even seen Big Ben made out of socks!  Let you imaginations run wild!

Here are a few ideas:

However, if this doesn’t appeal to you then you can still send any other art work to me and I will post that on the Blog too.
