Expert visitor in 3B

Last week, we were super impressed with our expert visitor, Phil Sheppard, who came to school to teach us how to draw The Iron Man from our key text: The Iron Man. Everyone listened carefully to follow the steps of how to draw it and should be so proud of the beautiful work produced!

Iron Man Workshop

On Tuesday, we were thrilled to have Phil Sheppard from the National Literacy Trust and Doncaster Stories deliver a workshop about the Iron Man, to support the reading we have been doing.

Phil guided us through how to draw the Iron Man, using some of the techniques book illustrator Chris Mould used when illustrating the book, the Iron Man.

We were very proud of the result!

We are looking forward to working with Phil again on World Book Day.

We are building our art techniques in 6B

6B have inspired by the artist ā€˜Giulio Campagnolaā€™ who invented the stippling technique to improve his variations of tone. The children have applied stippling to their sketches of Ben Parkinson. I canā€™t wait to see their final drafts!

We are artists!

We have kick started hook week in Year 6 and began working as artists. The children have started their first drafts today of their final product- a mural of Ben Parkinson. The children will be developing their art skills over the course of this week, using various techniques and being inspired by experts and artists.

Keep an eye on our blogs to see what we get up to!

Celebration of learning

3B have worked incredibly hard to prepare for their celebration of learning this afternoon. This week, we have written up our Henry Moore biographies in neat, created artwork in the style of Henry Moore during World War Two and practised World War Two songs. Massive shout out to those children who were brave enough to take on the challenge of doing a speaking part during the celebration. You all should be super proud of your efforts!

Investigating Henry Mooreā€™s art

Today, the class investigated Henry Mooreā€™s style of art. We gathered some information about his famous WW2 shelter sketches and annotated some of his artwork. Then, the class were excited to have a go at exploring his method with wax crayons and water colour paint. Next lesson, we will be replicating one of his famous pieces and I canā€™t wait to see what the class will produce!

We are amazing artists!

We have been working really hard in Years 3 and 4 to produce portraits of our key artist: Henry Moore. Just look at this beautiful work to be proud ofā€¦

Every child needs to be proud of their achievements this week. I hope they take on their next artistic challenge of working with the media that Moore had available to him during World War Two with as much enthusiasm and support for each other as they have over the last few daysā€¦true crew!
