Year 2 #enjoyed creating their plasticine figures this morning. We were inspired by our artist Keith Haring and created a whole class piece, celebrating our Year 2 class. 
 

Year 4 expanded on their printing skills this week. We printed onto our fabric pieces and began to paint the new sections, exploring areas of tone to show movement in our fabric painting. 
 

Reception #enjoyed working with charcoal to create their self portraits this week. We explored the types of marks we can make with the material and drew our faces, adding in details. 
 

This week, our Year 2 artists completed their Keith Haring inspired paintings by adding the thick, black lines. Our marks made a big difference and made our characters stand out.

Today Year 5 have explored texture to bring an image of their land art to life. By adding layers of texture, we aim to bring change our 2D image to life! 
 

Year 4 have #enjoyed learning the skill of mono-printing, using the theme of water, fire or earth. We loved the effects the print created, and expressing our creativity in a different way! 
 

Reception have #enjoyed creating resist drawing today, using the story The Rainbow Fish for inspiration. We used oil pastels to draw our fish, and loved watching the ‘magic lines’ appear when we added the paint. 
 

Year 2 #enjoyed painting today, creating pieces inspired by Keith Haring. We discussed his work’s characteristics and started to develop our own bright, happy paintings.

Year 6 have #embraced painting their cubist still life that they drew last week. Using bright colour palettes, we have even used some complementary colours. We can’t wait to finish theses next week.

Year 5 #embraced working in our school environment to create their own land art, inspired by Andy Goldsworthy. Collecting moss, leaves or sticks, our imaginations ran wild leading to some very exciting land art pieces. 
 

Year 4 have been developing their tonal drawing skills over the past few weeks, understanding that by adding pressure we can achieve a different value of colour.

Year 5 have been #evolving their drawings skills, by upleveling their tonal drawings skills. We looked at the values we can get from our drawings pencils by applying different types of pressure. When then had a go at transferring our skills to transform our leaf line drawings.
