The Big Draw

Today was a very special day throughout the country. It was a celebration of Art and nature, called The Big Draw. Children throughout the school took part in many different workshops and incorporated drawing and Art into every subject throughout the day. The pictures show 5EB taking part. They created collages, painted landscapes, used different types of music to influence their drawings and created fluorescent sea creatures. The children thoroughly enjoyed the day and produced some fantastic artwork.

Features of a Newspaper

Getting ready for writing newspaper reports, we looked at what features make up a newspaper. The children cut up newspapers and labelled the different features on a giant piece of paper.

Colour Theory and Shading Techniques

Preparing ourselves for the next D&T project and The Big Draw, we have been experimenting with different shading techniques and looking at colour theory. The pictures show the combinations of colours used to create new colours. They also show the detailed sketching techniques which were then applied whilst sketching natural objects.
