Today, we began learning about the artist Eva Rothschild and her sculpture work. We used art straws to make our own sculptures in a similar style.

Year 4 have combined their love of Art with this new RE topic. We have looked at how artists represent their faith in their paintings. We have read verses from the Bible which have inspired the artists.

This week, we started our RE unit: God and His Creation by exploring our imagination and creativity through artistic challenges, and then reflected upon the experience of being creative!

We thoroughly enjoyed creating the wonders of the natural world and felt immensely proud of ourselves when…

We made plasticine reliefs of our faces in art this week.  Do you think they look like us?

Following our work on the artist Arcimboldo, we used real fruit to make fruit faces. 

We have been discussing the artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo. We have been looking at his work and recreating it. Then we had fun making our own ! 

We have been using paint to make our self portrait. We have been discussing the different hair colour, eye colour and skin colour that people have and that we are all unique. We mixed the paint to achieve the right colours.

Take a look at our beautiful poppies. We created them using watercolours, collage, paint and pattern. The poppies will be displayed in Marketgate Shopping in the coming weeks, so keep your eyes open and see if you can spot our art around town.

Year 4 went to Dorrington Road woods today to complete some outdoor learning. We had a really interesting Art lesson about Cubism. We looked at some cubist pictures by famous artists then we created our own masterpieces. We had to draw a leaf using pastels and then colour it in a Cubist…

We have been looking at portraits drawn by various famous artists. We have enjoyed making our own portraits using natural materials too.
