In the Spring Term, Year 6 enjoyed exploring the topic 'Faces', focusing predominantly on the abstract faces of Pablo Picasso. They drew continuous line drawings using different mediums and used these as templates for wire sculptures. They explored tone to create cubist faces and had a go at collography to print.

Year 5 explored 'People in Action' during the Spring Term. This involved finding out about the work of both Keith Haring and Alberto Giacometti. They had opportunities to draw with different mediums and create foil sculptures. They placed collage materials carefully to create the illusion of movement.

Year 4 focused on the topic 'Trees' in the Spring Term. They used charcoal for observation drawings of trees and also looked at Gustav Klimt's 'Tree of Life' to inspire their own work. This included painting curly trees and also making sculptures in a similar style.

Year 3's Art topic for the Spring Term was 'Flowers.' Inspired by the work of Georgia O'Keeffe, they produced magnified flowers in different ways including macrophotography and drawing using oil pastels. We were really proud of the results.

Year 2 explored 'Circles' in the Spring Term. Inspired by the work of Kandinsky, they printed circles and drew concentric circles using different media. They produced collage circles in the style of Alma Thomas and then used plasticene to make coil pots. Well done Year 2!

In the Spring Term, Year 1 explored 'Dragons' inspired by the book 'Zog.' They were able to practice and improve drawing Zog, explore colour mixing and experiment with lines and patterns to produce a range of fabulous artwork.

For Numbers Day, children in year 4 explored the work of Italian artist Tobia Rava, who creates artwork using numbers. Inspired by his style and our class text The Ice Palace, children designed their own skeletal trees. They then filled their designs with numbers to combine maths and art in a creative way.

We have really been inspired by this week's topic, creating 2D and 3D pieces linked to Space and aliens.

It’s been a challenge but year 3 have tried really hard to draw Tutankhamen using a grid to help with proportion and accuracy.

Reception had fun mixing red and blue paint using their hands. We found lots of different shades of purple. What a surprise!!!
