Lots of classes chose to enter into the citywide city of edinburgh council competition ‘ winter windows’
where a selected few winners from edinburgh schools will be transformed into 2m x 1m stained glass style windows to be displayed around edinburgh over the festive period
it was tricky to choose only 5 to enter as there were so many ambitious, colourful and vibrant designs from many classes
well done and good luck !
P7 are looking in detail into different techniques that an artist like Hokusai may use to create work.
first of all ,the class looked carefully at some of the artists work and did some observational drawings , looking at shape, form, line and balance .
They then chose a piece to develop further using watercolour paint techniques
to finish off P.6’s space topic in art, the class looked at artwork by a designer and a street artist from Glasgow.
The class chose some design details for their characters and some graffiti style techniques to complete their work
p4 looked at the painting By Vincent Van Gogh ‘Room in Arles’
the class then talked about their rooms at home and what was in them . They sketched out their rooms and furniture then used a variety of techniques in oil pastels to colour them.
p4 looked at artwork by Paul Klee – in particular his colourful
‘ castle and sun’ piece
the class looked at tiling and tessellation patterns with 2-d shapes to create their own Klee inspired oil pastel and paint structures
