Wow! Wow! Wow!  When I got this email from Reception and Year One children it brought a tear to my eye!  What a lovely, thoughtful gesture and a reminder just how much St Peter’s is a family and how much we are missing each other.  However, seeing these happy children really brightens the spirit, so very well done children….and your parents.  Thank you so very much for sharing!

Goodness me!  I am totally blown away by this self portrait  by Nell (Year 5).  She has captured herself as a baby perfectly.  Her mum drew the outline, but the rest of the painting is all Nell’s work and I think it is sensational.  I especially like the detail she has added in the folds of the blanket an how mesmerising  her eyes are.  This is a true MASTERPIECE Nell – thank you for sharing!

For their New Life challenge Josh (Year 6) and Emelia (Year 4) decided to do an observational drawing of this plant.  Their mum decided to join in and painted this fantastic picture on the left.  It has been very carefully drawn, with lots of great detail and looks suberb. Emelia painted this brilliant picture on the right and it is clear that she looked really closely while painting it because it is a awesome and reminds me of Van Gogh’s ‘Sunflowers’.

Josh went slightly ‘off-piste’ and did an observational drawing of this model car.  However, he is totally forgiven because he has done a sensational job and it looks fantastic.  I can see that he has also looked very carefully at every detail because the finished painting is spot on! Stunning work Josh – very well done!  It is clear that this talented trio really enjoyed painting together.  Thanks for sharing!

Wow!  What a busy bee… or should I say butterfly Maisie (Year 1) has been!  She did a wax crayon print from the bark of the  tree in her garden and then collected a few different shaped leaves which she also used to do a wax crayon print and  then she put them all together to make a tree.  What a great technique and I think it looks tremendous!

Maisie then went on to create this amazing caterpillar and brilliant butterfly using handprints – what a beautiful way to show New Life and the life cycle of the caterpillar to a butterfly…. but Maisie wasn’t finishes there….

…..all this artwork had given Maisie an appetite (a bit like the hungry caterpillar!) and she decided to have a New Life lunch by making her fruit and pancakes in to butterfly and caterpillar.   I’m sure there is not much of that piece of art left, but I’m sure Maisie’s tummy is full now!

Wow!  This is amazing!  The Burridge boys have been inspired by Andy Goldsworthy and created these spectacular sculptures.  During their daily walk, the boys stopped briefly and George (Year 3) made this Macca Pacca-esque using stones and I have to say it is remarkably like the real thing.  Meanwhile,  Henry (Year 5) and William (Year 3) created this stunning pine cone and dandelion spiral. They left them in situ in the hope they would make the next person to come across them, smile! Their mum also said that it was wonderful to be out in nature and the first time in a long time that they all really took time to experience everything with all their senses.  She also said that you can’t take a picture of most of our experiences but new life was evident all around us, from the numerous bird calls, the smell of the trees and plants, the sunlight dancing on the woodland floor and the suns warmth on our skin!  Well said Mrs Burridge and thanks again boys for sharing your sculptures.  Just as Andy Goldsworthy inspired you, you may inspire others – well done!

This stunning stained glass window has been carefully created by Max (Year 1).  I am so impressed that he kept going with it, even though it was harder than he thought it would be.  In the end, Max is pleased with the end result and so am I… it is a fitting tribute for Good Friday.  Thank you for sharing this Max!

Alexander (Year 1) has been working hard today making these ‘Eggscellent’ Easter Cards .  He used potato stamps, paint and ink stamps – and said it was a lot of fun. Well done Alexander and thank you for sharing!

This gorgeous Easter garden has been created by these three sisters, Faith (Year 5) Sophia (Year 3) and Grace (Year 1).  These girls worked together to make this Garden, which is full of lots of symbols that represent Easter.  How many can you count?  Thank you for sharing this fabulous garden!

Isabella has made this fabulous  collage Easter cross, using the a variety of different materials.  It looks very effective – thank you Isabella!

Wow!  This multi-coloured cross has been made by Lucas (Year R).  As you can see he has carefully scrunched up pieces of tissue paper and then glued them onto a cross.  The result is totally amazing.  Well done Lucas!

What a wonderful Easter Garden created by Joshua (Year 2).  He has put a great deal of thought and effort into it and it looks fantastic.  Thank you for sharing this with us Joshua.

These crosses have been made by Max  (Year 1) and his brother Kiean (Year r) and they look amazing! The crosses were made using pva glue and food colouring to make patterns, which is a great technique and one that I am going to try.  Thank you Max and Kiean for sharing these with us!

Wow!  These colourful Easter Eggs created by Alexander (Year 1) are simply stunning!  He has made them by using various pieces of coloured thread – this is definitely an idea I am going to ‘magpie’!  Thanks you for sharing this Alexander!

This Easter Bunny and cross are the creations of Caelan (year 1).  I love the cute bunny who looks like he is out enjoying the sunny weather, but keeping a safe distance from everyone else!  The cross is also very impressive and is made with palm leaves from Caelan’s garden and multi-coloured hearts and leaves.  Well done Caelan!

This trio of Easter Gardens have been beautifully created by Alana (Year 4) Amelia (Year 1) and their gorgeous little sister, Ayia.  It is wonderful to see all the natural materials they have collected to make them and the flowers brighten them up.  Thank you girls, it’s always a delight to see your creations.

Look at this fantastic cross  and bird box that Bailey (Year R) has created, with help from his dad. It is a delight to see them working together and for Bailey to be learning new skills.  I really like the choice of colours they have chosen too.  However, that mud kitchen looks fab as well, I could have loads of fun with that! Thank you Bailey…and of course your dad!

This beautiful Easter Garden has been created by Maisie (Year 1).  It is lovely to see her create this and take the time to make it look so stunning.  I can see she has made the crosses by tying them with string, a skill she learnt in Year R.  Well done Maisie!

Wow!  Just look how busy these sisters have been!  They have done lots of Holy Week and Easter crafts and each one is fantastic.  This one shows  how they decorated their  door with olive branches and a cross and  hung it  out yesterday for Palm Sunday. Truly beautiful.

Emma (Year 4) and Eva (Year 5) then turned their art skills to making these crosses representing  Good Friday and then Easter Sunday. They have been very thoughtful with the way they have decorated them.

Christina (Year R) then made this  super cute Easter Bunny and Easter chick, using the collage technique.  I love them!  Thank you for sharing your ideas girls, I’m sure you have inspired many others!

Look at these two stunning crosses drawn by the Cook brothers,  Oliver (Year 5) and (Tommy Year 4).  Oliver did this coloured one and I really like the way he has coloured the wood to make it look like bark.  I also like the way he has drawn and then coloured the leaves behind the cross. It is clear he has really taken his time and the result is remarkable.  Very beautiful!

Tommy then used his impressive sketching skills to draw this cross, with lots of intricate detail.  Then to drawn and colour the rose lifts it to another level and is very thought provoking.  Thank you for sharing these Oliver and Tommy!

These two sisters, Alana (Year 4) and Amelia (Year 1) always do lovely art work and this is no exception.  Look how carefully they made these stained class window crosses, with beautiful colours, then Alana went on to make a huge mosaic cross.  Well done girls, your art always cheers me up!

Wow!  Look at this amazing Easter garden created by Aaron (Year 5).  The use of natural materials is so effective and thought provoking.  Thank you Aaron!

Wow!  Look at this wonderful drawing of the ‘Last Supper’ created by Ishana (Year 3). She has spent a lot of time and put a lot of thought into this picture.  Well done Ishana!

May I start by saying a huge thank you to everyone who has sent me pictures of your art and craft activities.  I have really enjoyed looking at each and every one.  If you haven’t already, please take a moment to look through the posts so that you can see what your friends have been up to.

I have set out a list of art ideas that you can do over the next two weeks.  It could be that you prefer to come up with your own idea or want to do something that another Year group is doing – that would be absolutely fine.  The most important thing is that you have fun doing something creative.  Feel free to encourage other family members to get involved too.

Year 6

Holy Week:

This is a real challenge: 

Draw an event from Holy week in the style of a famous Artist.  You have to let me know the inspiration that you used, with a sentence or two.  It could be in the style of Lowry or Munch, both artists we have studied this year, or your favourite artist, such as Van Gogh or Monet.  You can get inspiration from the internet or a family bible with pictures.

Year 5

Holy Week

Use Street Art to represent one aspect of Holy week.  It could be ‘Hosanna’ when the crowds were for Jesus or ‘Crucify Him’ as the crowd turned against Him. Alternatively, it could be ‘Do this in memory of me’. If you prefer, you can do a thought provoking picture/image in the style of Street Art.

Year 4

Palm Sunday or Good Friday

Create a drawing or painting of either Palm Sunday or Good Friday in the style of Vincent Van Gogh, as he is one of the artists we have studied this year. For example, think of one of his famous painting, such as Starry, Starry night, and use this as inspiration for your own picture.

Year 3

Leonardo Da Vinci did a famous painting of The Last Supper.

 Can you draw, colour or paint you own Last Supper picture? 

Year 2

Draw or paint a scene from Good Friday.  You can take inspiration from one of the pictures you find on the internet, or use your own imagination. Try to use either pointillism, Pop Art or a combination of the two.

Year 1

Make a cross to symbolise Good Friday.  It can be done in a variety of ways: either by drawing or painting, using pastels, or make a collage cross using a variety of materials. If you prefer, you can go outside and make one using natural materials.

Reception

Make or draw either a cross or an Easter egg, then decorate it using a variety of different materials that you find around your house.

For every Year Group:

However, if none of these appeal to you , why not try one of these?

Fancy something different:

Make a stained glass window about ONE of the Stations of the Cross that means the most to you.

Create your own Easter Garden, include a simple cross, cave/tomb, add flowers and/or seeds that will grow over Easter.

I will also love to see any other art work that you make and will post it on the Art Blog.

Email your art work to me:

n.pearson@stpeterswaterlooville.hants.sch.uk

Remember to include your name and Year group

Thank you 

Mrs Pearson

Wow! This is just too good not to share!

As you can see, Alana has been working so hard on her school project about the digestive system.  She has created this ‘life-size’ model to show how the digestive system works.  I am so impressed with this I think it could even be used in hospitals to help train doctors and dietitians. Thanks for sharing this Alana.

Wow!  Look at this stunning Mardi Gras Mask created by Faith.   It is so bright and colourful it would be right at home at the Rio Carnival.  Thank you for sharing Faith…and for being the first one on the Year 6 post!

This brilliant Brazilian plate, by Toby, features several aspect of Brazil.  The flag has been carefully coloured and the sketch of the toucan is very life like.  Thanks for sharing Toby!

Wow!  This magnificent Mardi Gras Mask has been created by Hayden and it is truly spectacular.  It is clear that he has done his research and looked at a variety of masks before deciding to create this one.  Well done Hayden and thank you for sharing this!
