P4 looked at images of children catching snow on their tongues and singing carols in the winter time
We then looked at using simple shapes to create a fun cartoon version of this
The class decided on suitable patterns and designs for the clothes and added their own choice of snow or music nots to show what the character was doing.
P3 listened to a story of a scarecrow through the different seasons
The illustrator created a different image for each month of the year
The class identified different weather , crops, skies and animals present at different times of the year
They chose a month to recreate using different colours , lines and pattern to express the differences.
P6 looked at some artwork by Claude Monet – who was an impressionist painter
The class then got clean ( for once!) -using their hands and soap to felt wool into their own impressions of the artists work.
Can you work out which paintings they were looking at?
p7 looked at the artwork of Jean-michel Basquiat . Who was a prominent black artist in the pop art / street scene of New York in the 1980s
His artwork inspired the class to create these skull heads using symbols and words that represent the characters and create expression .
The class experimented with a range of materials – including oil crayons , markers and inks
P5 looked at a very decorative building that is in Cantabria,Spain.
The Spanish artist Gaudi created very decorative tiles to cover the building
The class then choose some natural forms for their own tiles .
They then painted them and glazed them to give them a finished look
