Art News… Week 5
Another week done and dusted, this half term is flying past with only a week and a half to go before Autumn half term break. We are diving deeper into our learning and loving school life.
In Art…
Reception used special finger brushes to paint beautiful leaves in Autumnal colours. These will be added to our display in the hall.
Year one used special finger brushes that fit nicely over our pointer finger and make our finger the paint brush, We traced simple objects in the air before drawing them in paint onto a printed sheet. We have also been learning about cleaning up after ourseves, leaving the Create room ready for the next class of children, we had super fun doing this.
Year two had to use their imagination to draw what they belived Plop the baby owl could see from the top of his tall tree. We read the introduction from the book ‘The owl who was afraid of the dark’ by Jill Tomlinson for a discription of Plop before drawing him for ourselves.
Year three took their art from last week about the Hippocrump and self evaluated our work, how could we improve? Deciding some colour and more texture was needed, we redrew our Hippocrump on coloured paper using coloured pencils, we didn’t colour in but drew all the textures in colour such as scales, fur and claws. We all agreed out pictures had improved.
Year four took a black and white of themselves and added aspects of their personalities and things they liked and disliked to decorate their faces, a little like Jeffrey the maggot’s adventures. These look fabulous and are now glued into our sketch books.
Year five had ten minutes to complete last weeks work on Hundertwasser (now on display outside the year five classroom). We them concentrated on all the fruits and vegatables infront of us. We had to look at the shape, detail and tone and using art pencils draw using the space given. Observational is such a tricky skill to master, we will pop back at regular intervals to refresh and improve.
Year six took to their oil pastels again this week as we re looked at the fruits and vegetables drawn in pencil last week. Today we were either choosing realistic colours or abstract colours to recreate the tones within these.
Art club have one more session before passing this treat to a new group of children, after half term. We had pipecleaners to model with this week, we made a little man and then played to see what we could make.
Have a wonderful weekend.
God bless
