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!

We are building our art techniques in 6B

8th January 2025Miss Blackham

6B have inspired by the artist ‘Giulio Campagnola’ who invented the stippling technique to improve his variations of tone. The children have applied stippling to their sketches of Ben Parkinson. I can’t wait to see their final drafts!

Investigating Henry Moore’s art

21st November 2024Laura Brown

Today, the class investigated Henry Moore’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 can’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 of…

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 days…true crew!
