Inclusion

In Art & Design we have integrated a range of strategies into the lesson structure and delivery to support the inclusion of all learners within learning. This ensures that all of the children at Gurnard Primary School receive a broad and balanced curriculum that is suitable to the needs of all.

Photos 1 and 2 show children in Year1 & 2 using  paint and mixing paint to create new colours .

Photos 3 and 4 show children in  Year  3  creating a print template using card and string and Year  4 following their design to create a roman mosaic design onto a coaster using tiles.

Photos 5 and 6 show  year 5 children  painting their landscape designs inspired by a landscape artist with  a focus on perspective  and Year 6 sketching a William Morris inspired wallpaper or fabric design.

Take one picture project -The Finding of Moses

As a school, we took part in the Take One Picture. The photos below show how  the painting was used as inspiration for a range  creative projects throughout the school. Each class decided on a theme  to explore, namely: leadership, journeys, rivers and baskets.

Year 3 looked at the work of  Kobra, a Brazilian street artist. They copied their own poses onto painted cardboard and added colour with felt tips and vinyl.

Year 4 looked at the work of Julian Opie. They transposed their own poses onto felt, cut them out and used a contrasting felt background for their artwork. They then added detail using scraps of felt.

Year 5  looked at the work of Any Warhol. They were then given a lien drawing of the painting. Using  transfer paper they deconstructed  the line drawing, by tracing over it with the transfer, choosing different aspects to focus on. They then added colour with water colour pencils.

Year 6 looked at the work of  Banksy., noting that he often placed everyday items in unusual places. The children were given  line drawing of the painting. They then  added  interesting  images from magazines and  to their drawing.
