Year 2 - Art - Sketching our cuddly toys
We brought in cuddly toys from home and made sketches of them. We refined our initial sketches and used different pressures to vary the tones.
Year 3- Art: Expressing Identity Through Tie-Dye
In Art today, Year 3 Artists took the next step in their creative journey by tie-dyeing their own T-shirts. Building on the mood boards they previously created—which showcased their unique personalities and interests- the children used those as a foundation to express their individuality through vibrant colours and patterns. We began by analysing last year’s examples to spark inspiration, then discussed how specific visual choices can represent who we are as individuals. While the shirts are currently sitting, the children are already super excited to wash and dry them tomorrow to see their final designs come to life.

Doodle and Dance Club Session 3
This week, children in EYFS and key stage 1 focussed on mindfulness. We listening to some acoustic Disney music whilst completing some mindfulness colouring. It was lovely to hear all of the children chatting together. We finished with some wake and shake- fire and ice and the wiggle dance were a firm favourite!
Year 6 - Mixed Media
Year 6 continued to develop their mixed media artwork, building on previous skills and techniques. The children explored the use of background, scale and composition, considering how foreground, middle ground and background work together. Using images of everyday objects, the children creatively transformed them into buildings and structures, reimagining them as part of a cityscape landscape. The children experimented with layering, texture and colour to add depth and detail, showing increasing confidence in their artistic choices and ability to adapt ideas as their work progressed.

Year 2 - Art - Developing tonal shading skills using control and pressure
In Year 2, we have been investigating how varying the pressure using a pencil affects the tones in our sketchbooks.
Reception - Let's Get Crafty Tissue Art
Our Reception artists have been making a splash this week, diving into a vibrant "Under the Sea" activity to develop their creative flair and fine motor skills. By carefully scrunching, twisting, and sticking colourful tissue paper onto aquatic templates, the children created wonderful pieces of Art work for our school display.
Year 5 - Art
Year 5 have been learning about portraits and how to use a variety of media to create a self portrait that communicates something about their personality, beliefs and interests. The children used photographs, paint, pastels, coloured pencils and coloured paper to build their portraits and they were free to express themselves and their talents. The finished art will be displayed in the hall for all visitors to see!
Art in Year 4
The children worked really hard on their artwork this week. The focus was ‘ one picture, four views’ and the children were asked to concentrate on one part of a picture using a view finder. They then copied that part of the picture into a 15cm x 15cm square. In each of our four squares we looked at a different part of the picture resulting in some very abstract pieces.
Doodle and Dance Club
This week our EYFS and KS1 club learnt to follow instructions to draw different pictures such as butterflies, robots and elephants. The children tried really hard and Mrs Wilkinson was very impressed. We then danced to Waka Waka and completed a Super Mario dancing challenge. We are all looking forward to next week.
Art - Inspired by the Rainforest
As part of our new Art unit we have been looking at the rainforest and in this lesson we strayed to look at the beginning of a design process which will lead up to creating a piece of Batik artwork. We collected images, shapes and colours to match a theme and complete our very own mood boards.

Year 1 Art: Jasper Johns Artwork
This week Year 1 created artwork inspired by Jasper Johns. He paints numbers mainly using primary colours and blending in some secondary colours. The children showed lots of skill with their paintings, making sure to outline the number with colour and blending colours together where they meet. Their artwork looks very impressive.
