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 !
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
p.3 s topic is mini-beasts and in art they have been looking at symmetry and detail in insects and arachnids.
We looked at art by Lucy Arnold ; who creates pastel and paints insect artwork.
Then created our own beasties (some real, some fantastical)
we used oil pastel transfer and watercolour paint to assist in the symmetry.
