Our art topic this half term is called Map it Out. Class 1 have been working hard with Mrs Wardale. Reception created their own 3d map as a group. Year 2 made their own piece of felt and used part of their map in their designs. A fantastic afternoon of fun and learning! 

We had an afternoon inspired by everything Autumn! We listened to the Leaf Man story and created our own characters. We painted Autumn trees and made leaf rubbings. Reception used conkers to count and match numbers. Year 2 wrote some amazing descriptions of seasonal changes.

Class Three have worked collaboratively to create their own installation art based on the artist, Cai Guo-Qiang. They investigated the effect of space and scale when creating 3D art and loved using a range of materials to create different explosion effects with their positive and negative shape…

Today we made some beautiful butterfly sun catchers. We coloured our templates using coloured crayons. Once this was done we then used cotten buds to cover our picture in baby oil. The oil helps our pictures to become more see through. We then wiped off any excess oil before allowing to dry.

We had great fun experimenting with colours. We identified primary colours - red, yellow and blue and mixed them to create orange, green and purple! 

Our art lesson was lots of fun today, creating paper sculptures using different techniques of folding, rolling and twisting paper.

In Art this week, Class Three used photography to recreate a famous painting. We studied and recreated the painting, ‘The Scream’ by Edvard Munch using expressionistic colours like the artist!

Our finished artwork

After making our papyrus paper, the children were able to use charcoal and paint to create their very own Ancient Egyptian style artwork.

A very messy afternoon. We have used strips of parcel paper with glue to create papyrus like paper ready for our Egyptian art next week.
