Awesome sketchbook work from our Y6 children who will be painting icebergs using watercolour techniques or acrylics and pallet knives. Today focused on research and studying our focus artists. They can’t wait to get started!

Year 4 have been studying the street art of Egyptian artist Aya Tarek. Linked to Human Rights, their compositions painted in acrylic are inspired by equality, diversity, education, privacy and protection. #PrimaryArt

Inspired by Windrush, Year 5 created these mixed media compositions using printing & drawing. Focusing on themes of migration & journeys we learned about the incredible work of artist Ade Adesina. 🤩 #PrimaryArt #Windrush @sophieleach.bsky.social @darrellwakelam.bsky.social @artteachjess.bsky.social

Reception classes loved painting this collaborative painting using pallet knives inspired by Van Gogh & their literacy text ‘Katie & the Starry Night’. They were fascinated by the textures and shadows once dry. Can’t wait to hang it! #PrimaryArt

Y3 have created their own paper relief shape collages learning about artist Sean Thornhill. Great opportunities for playing with colour, position & layering. Children were fascinated by the different things they can see within each others compositions, including geckos and faces! 🤩 #PrimaryArt

Y1 have been reading “Dinosaurs and All that Rubbish” in Literacy lessons. We were inspired by the work of Abhijeet Shrivastava and his use of charcoal. Here we have dinosaurs on the rampage and studies of T-Rex Skulls! 🤩 @sophieleach.bsky.social @penahay.bsky.social

As part of their drawing focus, Y3 (age 8-9 yrs old) have been learning about photorealistic artist Paul Cadden. Using 4b pencils children have varied pressure and layered to bring these different landscapes to life. 🤩
