Today, we have been looking at buildings from 1666 and using our observation skills to make detailed drawings of them for a 3D diorama.

Here are our finished pictures in the style of the street artist Keith Haring! We are really proud of them.

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…

We used our sense of sight to look closely at our faces. We chose the correct colours and discussed the features of our faces.

Lots of time and effort went in to create this fabulous artwork.  Well done Year 2!

We investigated how other artists used clay to produce a piece of art. We moulded it into the shapes that we wanted using our hands and tools. We are excited to paint them next !
