We have had a very busy start to our art lessons and\u00a0 we wanted to share with you what each Year group have been up to:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Reception Class<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

During the month of October, the children learnt about Mary, the mother of Jesus.\u00a0 They then looked at a portatrait of Mary and drew a portrait of their mummy.\u00a0 Their artwork is displayed in the hall to commemorate October being the month of Mary.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Year 2<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The children have beening learning about portraits and why they were so important in the past.\u00a0 They also explored different mark making techniques, which will be useful when they come to draw their own self portraits later this term.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Mrs Porter then asked if the children would help create a display for the Library.\u00a0 She wanted the children to create a firework display, linked to the book ‘The firework maker’s daughter.\u00a0 The children made 2D and 3D fireworks using 2D and 3D shapes.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Year 3<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

We have been learing about Indian art.\u00a0 The children learnt about the Indian festival of Hastimangala before creating the own 3D elephant.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Trinty and Alfin’s elephants made it onto Mr Cunninghams WOW Work board – congratulations!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They then learnt about the importance of henna tattooing in the Indian culture and made their own henna designs for feet and hands.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Year 4<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The children have been jewllery designers this term and created a dazzling array of jewllery using a variety of media from clay to paper plates!\u00a0 They even made their own necklaces using paper beads that they carefully constructed.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Year 5<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

We have been learning about Street Art and giving some very vocal opinions about it.\u00a0 We discussed if it is always ugly and illegal or if there are times when it can be thought provoking and even enhance areas.\u00a0 The children practsed different stylised writing, using letters and\u00a0 colours which were eye catching.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Year\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a06<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We have been focusing on Chinese Art this term and have looked at different brush strokes to ensure\u00a0 we\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>produce clean lines, as this has important significance in Chinese art.\u00a0 We learnt about the ‘Four Gentlemen’ of Chinese art and had a go at creating our own artwork based on this these techniques.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Then we attempted Chinese calligraphy.\u00a0 We learnt that this can take years to master, but as you can see Year 6 did really well with their first go!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
