This week we used our knowledge of mark making and observation to create a sketch of flowers in a pot. We used lines to show the texture of out objects to make them come to life.
Art
Making Waves
Listening to water themed music, Emerald Class used their knowledge of different lines to create an underwater scene. We all had an area of paper to work on, connecting it to each other’s lines to make one big water picture.
Lines
Using chalk, black card and string, Emerald Class investigated different lines. We experimented with cross-hatch, diagonal, horizontal, vertical and wavy lines. They, we placed out work together to create big, line drawing collages.
Egyptian Scrolls
In Art, we are learning about Egyptian art and we are going to produce our own Egyptian scroll. We have researched Egyptian images and patterns and designed our scrolls. We are looking forward to making them.
WW2 Silhouettes
Inspired by images from WW2, Diamond Class learned how to create a backwash and cut images from black paper to create city war scenes. The final images were dramatic and thought provoking.
Miro
Linked to our Circus topic, Diamond Class studied ‘Circus’ by the artist Joan Miro learning about surrealism and Miro’s style. They then created their own Circus piece of art work using surrealism techniques. They also learned how to model 3D images using polystyrene shapes and wire and recreated scenes from their art work in 3D form.
History and Art
We looked at a picture by Alan Moore and were inspired to make our own class version. Each pupil made a plane, carefully studying designs of real planes at that time.
The Colours of Us
We learned how to make our own portraits. We read the book ‘The Colours of Us’ and found out that there are a vast range of skin tones. We then learned how to draw the proportions of the face and were given the task to mix the tone to match our own skin using just red, blue, yellow, black and white paints.Â
Great Fire of London
We learned about portraits and used our skills to reproduce a sketch of Samuel Pepys. We learned about the Great Fire of London, and read parts of the diary written by Samuel Pepys to find out what happened to people living in London during the fire.
During our Great Fire of London topic, we found out about life in the 17th century. We learned that buildings were made of wood with thatched roofs, which is why they burned so easily. We then compared them to modern buildings in London.
