Our art competition closes tomorrow- you have to be in it to win it!

We are challenging ALL of our pupils to enter our half-term art competition. We would love you to create a piece of art to display proudly in our school staff room. You can create any piece of artwork you like! Please ensure any contributions are given to your class teacher on the 31st October who will pass them on to myself and the winners will be notified on the 1st November. There will be numerous prizes: the most creative, the brightest, the most unique and an overall winner!

We hope you all get involved and we cannot wait to see all your beautiful art creations!

Preparing our product

We have been learning to critique our art work in order to edit and improve our designs. The children looked closely at animal pictures talking about the features that they could see.

Have a look at some of our designs.

Observational Drawings

This week we have been drawing woodland creatures. We have been critiquing and having another one. We drew our final draft onto a pebble.

Using Charcoal to Create Mood

We are artists and used charcoal today to practise different shading skills. We then transferred these skills to show mood by colouring a portrait of Rosa Parks. #LovePlover

Shading with charcoal!

In year 1 we are learning about shading, hatching and cross hatching.
We have practised first, and then we have shaded an outline of Rosa Park’s face.

Mood and Colour

These awesome artists used different colours to shade faces and represent the different moods/emotions! #LovePlover

Final Product Plans

Today we have had a go at drawing owls, badgers and hedgehogs. We will be critiquing these and then painting then onto stones as part of our final product. Here are some of our beautiful drawings.

Great Fire of London Art

Today we cut different sized shapes to create our Fire of London silhouette houses. The children were proud artists and created some beautiful work! #LovePlover

We are Artists 🎨

First we completed our colour wheel and mixed primary colours to make the secondary colours orange, green and purple.

Then we started our Fire of London art and created a backwash with light and dark oranges using a sponge. #LovePlover
