During the Autumn term the children learnt about the artist Henry Moore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was an artist who was commissioned to draw and paint pictures of Britain during WWII. He used a variety of media including pencils, charcoal wax and paints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His work inspired the children to create their own paintings of life during air raids, underground in the tube station of London. Using a range of techniques that he used, including wax resist and one point perspective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The children then looked at his sculptures and identified key features about them. They talked about where the light fell on the sculpture and did an observational drawing of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The children then created their own clay sculpture of a WWII person, in the style of Henry Moore. Once dry they mixed their own metallic paint to make their sculpture look more authentic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
