We have been enjoying looking at the pictures of Keith Haring in our graffiti art unit. He uses bright colours to show lots of people, often moving and having fun! We particularly liked the picture ‘Dance Party’ and have made our own versions using collage. We had to practise drawing moving people…

We have been exploring at the different "tags" that graffiti artists such as Banksy use.  They are like their autographs.  We designed our own and cut out stencils from our designs.  Graffiti artists often use spray paints with their stencils but we sponged different colours instead.  We then used…

Year 4 have been looking at two artists in this block of work. Hundertwasser was an Austrian painter and architect who enjoyed environmental campaigning. Karla Gerard is an American folk artist producing paintings and textile pieces.

The children built up their skills in drawing with a variety…
