Our Art & Design curriculum is planned within our two year curriculum. Please see our overview of the focus, visual elements and artists.

Our Art & Design Gallery:

Class 4 have been learning all about the War Artist 'Edward Ardizzone'. Our focus throughout our sessions was drawing and painting. We looked at the visual element of colour and line. In our first session, we created our own Edward Ardizzone fact posters, then we practised a range of sketching techniques using different sketching pencils. After that, we used water colours to develop our knowledge of colour and tone. We then posed as a group to recreate one of Ardizzone's famous paintings and sketched around the picture. Finally, we put all of our skills and knowledge to the test and created our own War pictures in the style of Edward Ardizzone. Have a look at our amazing creations: 

 

Class Three have been learning all about drawing, paint, line and colour. Our artist focus was Claude Monet. We took our own photographs of the local church and used a viewfinder to look at the features and add detail to our drawing. We looked at shading and pattern and then created our version of the church in the style of Monet. 

 

 

Class One have been learning all about drawing, line and Picasso. First, we looked at drawing our eyes. We looked at the different parts of the eye and used a mirror to help us draw them. We looked at our eye lashes and how they are longer on the top and shorter on the bottom. We then looked at Picasso's portraits and had a go at drawing our own. 

 

Class Two have been learning about drawing, line and shading. We looked at drawing houses and the lines that we could see. We experimented with different pencils to see what effects we could create. We used a viewfinder to look at detail more closely and had a go at drawing parts of a house. We looked at patterns and shape.
