Main Projects addressed in classes:
1) Photo Competition
“Colours of the World”
Children could, either, make up a design or picture on the theme of “Colours of the World” and then photograph it with the class digital camera. Some children just found a part of the school to photograph which they felt fitted in with the theme. Some lovely work was done and the winning entry from each class won pack of wax crayons, some watercolour pencils and some pencil crayons.
2) Artist study
Teachers chose a favourite artist and a favourite work. The children looked at the techniques and the skills of that particular artist and then tried to produce a similar piece either individually, in groups or as a class. Van Gogh and Monet were favourites and others were Picasso, Lowry and Miro.Again some lovely work is now on display and children have obviously extended their understanding of these artists and their styles.
3) Canvas Collages
Each class were given a canvas to use to make a collage of very small items of the same colour. It was amazing to see what a broad range of things that the children brought in from home and the variety of ideas in the collages. They should make a striking display in the hall.
