Year 1 have enjoyed exploring watercolours. Artist Emma Burleigh explained how she uses watercolours in her art work. She lets a picture emerge from marks on the page, allowing the paint to ‘do its own thing’. She also explained different paint techniques including using only two or three colours, colour washing and ‘wet in wet’. Children enoyed exploring the way the paint flows on the page.

Year 4 really enjoyed exploring Modroc this afternoon as an art media to create a sphere. We used scrunched newspaper as a base, and water to activate the plaster before spending time shaping the surface. Next week we are hoping to create some food and fruit sculptures.

This half term in DT Year 2 have been taste testing and designing smoothies. This week they made their recipes and all enjoyed a delicious smoothie featuring a whole range of exciting ingredients.

Year 5 have been hard at work creating their incredible 3D sculptures, inspired by the distinctive style of artist Alberto Giacometti. Using wire to build their maquettes, pupils then carefully covered them in mod roc before adding the final touches with paint.

The results are striking and full of character. Take a look at some of their fantastic creations below!
