our p6s ( now p7) completed some excellent artwork based on the theme ‘magical creatures and fierce monsters’ for the annual National galleries competition
Here are some of our finalists – we should find out if we have a winner in around 5 weeks !
Art
P3 Leaves
P3 enjoyed exploring the pattern , texture and shape of different leaves
The class took rubbings to identify the details on each individual leaf
They then observed symmetry and used paper to create a cut and collage their own collection of artwork.
Treemendous times back at school
Art has been different this term as I’ve been so lucky to get a whole class all morning or all afternoon .
We’ve been looking into trees and the symbolism of these fantastic forms in our own lives and in the work of many artists
We were particularly interested in the work of Gustav Klimt.
Primary 7 do Andy Goldsworthy
Primary 7 took inspiration from British artist Andy Goldsworthy to create art in nature today.
Andy Goldsworthy uses natural materials such as leaves, flower petals, twigs, stones and water to create fleeting pieces of art.
P7 foraged for items and produced visually stunning artwork. We left them in the Figgate Park for the community to enjoy. Great effort P7!
