Look at these fabulous paper plate flowers created by these three sisters, Alana, Amelia their little sister Ayia, who also joined in.   They have certainly brightened up my day with these colourful creations.  Thank you for being the first post on the Paper Plate Art Gallery!

Wow! What a sensational snake created by Mason (Year 1).  I absolutely love the way he has painted the scales on the snake’s body and then carefully cut the plate in a spiral.  Wonderful work, thank you for sharing!

This uplifting paper plate brought a smile to my face. Johan (Year 4) has spent a great deal of time and effort to show the stages of the life of Jesus.  Thank you for sharing this special plate with us Johan.

Goodness me!  Look at these two fabulous paper plate creation made by Christina (Reception). The paper plate parrot is so realistic an the pink flamingo is simply stunning.  You must have worked very hard on these creations. Thank you for sharing Christina.

Wow!  Look at this amazing Spanish flag that Aaron (Year 4) has created onto a paper plate.  He has obviously taken his time and coloured it really carefully.  Well done Aaron!

Wow!  Look at this stunning paper plate created by Riya (Year 4) celebrating the USA.  I really like the way she has included lots of features of America, I particularly like how carefully she had drawn the Empire State building.I also like the way she had decorated some of the plate using pointillism and stripes.  Thank you for sharing this with us Riya!

This fabulous Easter plate has been created by Emelia (Year 4). I absolutely love the bunny, he is so cute!

Thanks for sharing with us Emelia!

Oh my goodness!  Look at these two magnificent paper plate creations.  You wouldn’t know it, but Harvey (Year 5) is behind this awesome parrot, while his sister, Catherine (Year 1), is the creator of the fabulous Minnie Mouse.  Both these siblings have put time and patience into their creation, but I’m so glad they did because they are sensational.  Thanks to both of you for sharing.

Wow! These stunning paper plates have been beautifully created by Poppy (Year 5).  As you can see she has spent a great deal of time on these two plates and I love the way they show the same scene in daytime and at sunset.  This just shows the artistic flair that Poppy has, as it is tricky to create the same scene but at different times.  Well done Poppy and thanks for sharing!

This incredible Native American paper plate has been created by Felicity (Year 4).  It is clear that she has really taken her time to make it look very authentic and the final result is simply stunning. Thank you for sharing this Felicity!

Wow!  Look at this fabulous rainbow paper plate created by Fia (Year 1).  This bright and colourful rainbow has really cheered me up.  Well done Fia and thank you for sharing!

Hello everyone!

This week I would like you to create something with a paper plate.  Please don’t worry if you do not have one at home you can just draw around a plate and then cut it out.

I would like you to link it to the country that your Year Group is studying, so there are some ideas below.  However, any creation would be wonderful.

Please email a photo of your artwork to me and I will share it on the Art Blog.

Keep creating and keep safe!

Seren (Year 6) is the first one to make something out of foil…Her name.  Thank you Seren.

These sisters have been busy this afternoon with the Fun with Foil activity. Aurora (yr 4) has made a monkey swinging on a bar and Raffaella has made a token with the letter R – and painted in glitter glue!

“Titanic” in tin foil by Luke Williams (Class 2F)

“Desert island and treasure chest”  in tin foil by Faith Williams (Class 6L)

Now you can see Luke and Faith’s creations together…I wonder if any jewellery from the Titanic ended up in that treasure chest?

Aimee Best has created a superb slide out of foil, which is great.

Sofia Smy has made a person out of tin foil, I think it is fabulous and she has got the proportions of the body just right!

Islwyn linked this fabulous foil creation to his year 6 writing task of a ‘busy place’  and re-created his H0018 cub camp. The campsite is complete with a campfire, tents and a yurt!

Mostyn  made this amazing piece of jewellery out of foil  and linked it to his to his Year 3 Roman topic and made a ‘Bulla’ Roman  necklace.   Thank you to these brothers for taking a great deal of time to create these masterpieces.

Wow!  What wonderful creations from Alana and Amelia Do’urden.  These foil Medallions are fantastic. Alana’s has her initials and a heart, while Amelia drew an A and some hearts.  They look so lovely – well done girls.

Look at this ‘Eggscellent’ Easter basket that Monique has made out of foil – it is absolutely fantastic.  I may ‘magpie’ this idea myself and make foil Easter baskets for my family.  Thanks for the fab idea Monique!

Oh my goodness…. these three brothers have been busy.  Check out these wonderful foil creations:

George has made a brilliant foil running trophy… it looks like they are running a relay and passing the baton.

Henry has made a badge with his initial ‘H’ on it and has also made a foil fight scene, with a referee to make sure things don’t get too out of hand!

William  has made a foil Roman soldier and coloured it in so carefully.

Thank you so much boys for sharing your creations with us….a truly talented trio!!

This is another fabulous foil creation by Faith.  This time she has made a fantastic pendant with her initial ‘F’ on it…   I wonder if she found it in the treasure chest she made earlier in the week?

Look at this amazing octopus created by Joe (Year 6).  It looks so cute and I really love  the way you have made the legs 3D.   I like the background too…it looks like you used water colours for that.  Thanks for sharing.

This is a fantastic candle and candle holder made by Jacob (Year 6).  His whole family have done foil art this week… sorry to their mum if she has no foil left for cooking!

Look at the fabulous pictures created by Sophie (Year 4).  The leaves on the tree were made by Sophie putting blobs of paint on her branches and using a dry brush to spread out, that’s a great technique and very effective.  The other two were made using pastels.

Thank you for sharing these Sophie, I’m looking forward to seeing more from you and other art work from the children at St Peter’s.

A wonderful and  colourful creation by Seren (Year 6)

Fantastic art work by Ava and Daniel Dawson

Benji (Year 5) has done an incredible drawing of Carl Fredricksen  from the film Up!  Amazing work Benji.

Look at this huge, amazing dice made by Alana  Do’urden, with each face is a different colour and pattern. The family then used the dice to play Pig and made up a couple of their own garden games too. How wonderful, I bet it was lots of fun… and the sun was shining too!

This is a brilliant beach scene created by Monique using pastels and stencils.  I love the way she has blended the colours.  Thank you for sharing this Monique.

George  is concentrating  while doing silhouette work with pastels and gel pen and as you can see the result is simply stunning!

William has tried his hand at needle felting for the first time and I’m sure you will agree that this chick is so cute.  Well done William.

Look at these fabulous creations by Nell – I would love to turn the picture on the left into wallpaper and I think the 3D flowers are amazing.  Thanks for sharing Nell.

This talented family have been learning the new skill of Macrame.  Their mum has been teaching them and as you can see from the results she has done a great job showing them what to do.  Well done to you all!

I love these clever pictures from Benji (Year 5) I had to look really closely to see that it was the same picture just opened up – what a great idea! I may ‘magpie’ this idea for school!

Remember to email your artwork to me.

Hello and welcome to the first Home Learning Art Blog. 

Over the coming weeks there will be an opportunity for you to participate in a range of Art activities. These can be done individually, with older or younger siblings, or indeed as a whole family.  Please do email me a picture of your creations and I will upload it onto the Art Blog, so that the whole of the St Peter’s community can admire your creativity.

To get you started over the next few days, I challenge you to have ‘Fun with Foil’.  See what you can create using this accessible and versatile material. Pictures using string and tin foil, people. animals,  fish,  trees or jewellery are just a few ideas,  but I’m sure you will impress me with your inventiveness! Pintrest is always a good place to look.

In addition to this, if you do anything else  ‘Arty’ at home please send me a photo of that as well so that I can share that on the Art Blog too.

Have fun and keep safe and well.

To make a Sharpie tinfoil pendant: (Great Mother’s Day gift!)

1) Cut a small circle from an old cereal box.

2) Cut a slightly bigger circle from tin foil.

3) Draw a simple design on the cardboard, cover the outline of the design with glue and string, and set it aside to dry.

4) Cover the dull side of the tin foil with a glue stick, wrap the tin foil around the cardboard containing the design, and secure the tinfoil with a piece of tape on the backside of the pendant.

5) Rub the tinfoil on the front of the pendant with a piece of felt or old cloth to help the string design show through.

6) Colour the design with Sharpies, and allow to dry.

7) Punch a hole in the top of the pendant, and string or a chain.

Tin foil people – there are a range of videos on You tube to help you make the basic person – Years 4 and 5 have done this with me.

I can’t wait to see what you create!

It was the turn of Turtle class to learn about how teddy bears got their name and to the draw them, choosing whether to use pencil, chalk or a combination of them both.

They are all so cute that I can’t choose a favourite….can you?

For their Art lesson this week, Year 4 focused on the Creation story and thought of a ‘creative’ way to show it through art.  The made Creation circles with each segment depicting a different day of creation.

I love the way the children used different ways to tell the same story.

During their Art lesson the children were looking at art in other faiths.  They learnt that Muslims use prayer mats and pray five times a day.

The children then created their own colourful prayer mats using felt tip pens and tissue paper.

I think they look beautiful – don’t you agree?

Year Three children have been learning about festivals celebrated in other faiths.

During their art lesson this week they learnt about the Buddhist festival, Hanamatsuri. This Japanese flower festival celebrates the birthday of the Buddha Shakyamuni’s born in 565 AD. The flowers commemorate the Buddha’s birth in a garden.

The children then created their colourful gardens for the festival.
