Wassily Kandinsky!

By Jodie Buss20th May 2025

This week F2 have enjoyed learning all about the famous Russian artist…

‘Wassily Kandinsky’

…and have used his work to inspire some of their own fabulous pieces of art!

We have learnt lots about Wassily himself and have enjoyed exploring some of his most famous pieces, looking at the shapes he used and the colours!

We explored how different colours make us feel and how we can mix colours together to create new ones, talking about the primary colours and their importance!

Here are a few pictures of the children getting inspired and busy with their intrinsic circle designs, carefully mixing their own colours and creating beautiful abstract art!!!

F1’s folded & printed butterflies

By Mrs C SILVERWOOD7th May 2025

The children have been exploring how to make their butterfly wings the same on both sides.

Vinny thought it was, “Like a mirror.”

Rory said, “It closed then it opened again like a beautiful butterfly!”

Rory also thought, “It’s magic.”

But Pixie said, “It’s Science.”  How clever!

Grafitti

By Mrs K SMITH5th April 2025

Year 3 have completed their final piece of art for this term.

They have created some amazing name tags using fabric paint and t shirts.

We spent time looking at all different types of graffiti going back to cave art in the stone age all the way through to work of a local street artist called Dieynaba Sidibe.

We practised making our own tags with various materials including pencils and pastels before we had a go at using fabric paints.

Once we had done lots of practising and were happy with our tags we were able to recreate them on our t shirts.

We used fabric paints and brushes to create our tags and we were all very happy with our completed piece of art.

Y1 Easter Egg Decorating fun!

By Leonnie Carrick4th April 2025

Year 1 had a cracking time taking part in our egg decorating competition! Everyone brought in a hard-boiled egg and used paint, glitter, paper, and lots of imagination to turn them into amazing characters and creations.

We saw everything from minions and animals to sparkly princesses and silly monsters! The classroom was full of colour, laughter, and creativity.

Well done to everyone who took part—your eggs were egg-cellent!

F1’s Easter Drawings

By Mrs C SILVERWOOD3rd April 2025

After clearing the room for our fantastic Easter singing session yesterday, we made the most of the space this morning.  Everyone listened really carefully whilst I gave them each instruction and drew my picture on the board.  They then did each step themselves to create their brilliant pictures!  Well done F1!

Getting ready for Mother’s Day in F1

By Mrs C SILVERWOOD26th March 2025

We thought we would do something slightly different for our mums this year.  Instead of making a card, the children have been using their fine-motor skills to get creative with lavender-scented salt dough.  Fingers crossed that the baking process goes well tomorrow!

Y4 Art Club

By Mrs C SILVERWOOD25th March 2025

Year 4 Art Club is going really well.  We’ve been comparing different portraits and how it feels to draw faces of different ages.  Some of the results are amazing!

Water day in F1

By Mrs C SILVERWOOD27th February 2025

As part of our study of We’re Going on a Bear Hunt, we have had a ‘water’ day today. Some of the children started their morning listening to a beautiful piece of music and watching a river flow. The marks they made on their paper was inspired by what they were listening to and watching. I think you’ll agree that these three pieces of work show what the children were thinking and feeling beautifully. Well done Ella, Vinnie and Elliot!
Please click on the links. Watch the river (with the sound turned off) and listen to the music. See what you think!
