Art

Our new topic is all about using clay. We discussed different features of clay and how to use it. Then we had a go with play-doh at making different shapes and manipulating it in different ways. 

We have finished our final art pieces this week in our Art sessions. We have created a GFoL painting by colour washing the our paper using warm colours, layering on top to create texture by printing, and then layering again by adding dark paper to create buildings. Don't they look great!!

In Art this term, we are creating pieces of art by using the technique collage. Yesterday, we explored what collage was...

See our final pieces of art work displayed in our cloakroom in year 1. The children did so well to create art work which was influenced by the artist Piet Mondrian and by using contrasting colours showing warmth and cool colours. 

Today in art, we have been looking at contrasting colours. We have learnt what colours are warm and what colours are cool and sorted resources by these criterias. 

We have learnt about the Artist Piet Mondrian and learnt how he was an abstract painter. We looked at his art work and have created our own representations of his work. Some of us then decided to create our own imagery using rulers and pencils to then paint in afterwards.

We have started our hot and cold topic this term by looking at colour mixing.  The children loved exploring colour mixing!

We've been using natural materials  to make faces.
