Year 2 listened to Dohnanyi’s variation on a Nursery theme, which was Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.  They then mixed red and blue together to create a night sky.  They added a star and ladder and then ‘Reached for the star!’

Year 3 designed their own patchwork blanket for Jesus.  Their only criteria was that each section had to be unique, just as we are.

The colourful designs created by the children really are fit for a King!!

Year 5 had a very creative morning!  After watching the pantomime they turned their attention to creating beautiful Snow Scene cards.  They also had a photograph of their face which they glued onto an ice skater which they decorated and attached to a lolly stick. The children then used a paper plate to create an ice rink, which they also decorated.

The results were truly spectacular!

Year 3 made Christmas baubles, where each one had to be different.  Look how bright and colourful they are.

The Year 6 children created some labels for tin cans that were then filled with treats, for Waterlooville Foodbank.  They also made some wonderful gift tags to accompany some of the cans.  Their art work was thoughtful and considerate…and looked amazing!

I’m always excited to see the art work that the children have created at home, especially when they have applied a new skill that they have learnt during their art lessons.

Here are some examples:

Beautiful butterflies!

Molly and her grandad made a doll and a selection of clothes to go on the doll.

Amelia’s artwork was inspired by our recent project about the artist Keith Haring.

Faith did her own Street Art linked to homelessness.

Year 4 children, in Koala class created their own Bethlehem scene, inspired by Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry, Starry Night.

The concentrate really well over two Art lessons and produced some  very thoughtful work

During their Art lesson, Year One learnt about Dream Catchers. Turtle class then talked about their Christmas Dreams and then made their own Christmas Dream Catcher.

As you can see, they look wonderful!

Year One are learning about art in nature and how artists use the natural materials around them to create impressive works of art.

We studied leaves during our art lesson this week and how the colours of leaves change throughout the seasons and in particular Autumn.  We carefully examined leaves and then the children drew a leaf in their artbook. After that, the children made their own leaf animal carefully cutting, overlapping  and glueing the leaves to create their animal.  All the children concentrated well and created some amazing animals.

Which one is your favourite?

During our art lesson today we learnt about the sculptor Alberto Giacometti.   The children then explored the versatility of tin foil as a material for creating sculptures and came up with a bank of key words for working with tin foil including,  malleable, flexible and scrunchy.  After that the children made an action figure, doing their favourite pose.  Finally, Mrs Pearson used a glue gun to glue their figure onto card and the children drew their figure’s shadow.

The children thoroughly enjoyed this lesson and the finished sculptures are spectacular!
