WAR STORIES

Year 6 have been finding out about World War 1 and 2, we looked at images of The Western Front and its devastation. 

Then we talked about the significance of the poppy as a symbol of Remembrance.

We looked at Images of 'Poppies At The Tower'  and made our own ceramic poppies for display.

Year 6 looked at the famous Lord Kitchener poster and recreated using their own faces.

In 1937 the Basque town of Guernica was destroyed by German and Italian warplanes on the orders of Spanish President Franco, Spanish Artist Pablo Picasso was horrified and responded by creating The World's most famous war painting named Guernica after the town. Year 6 created their own version depicting fear and aggression.

Autumn Term Art Work

Year 6 have been finding out about The Victorians, so we began our art lessons by looking at a famous Victorian painting 'Last of England' by Ford Maddox Brown. We talked about personal experiences of moving to another  country and the emotions involved. We re-staged the painting using  year 6 children as models and learned how to draw figures correctly. Finally we added paint to produce amazing results.

We also looked at Millais' painting Ophelia and recreated using our own model.

We have been looking at the work of Victorian Designer William Morris, we made our own wallpapers based on a nature theme.

We made clay tiles also inspired by William Morris

Year 6 are working on an Alice in Wonderland project. Children watched The Tim Burton movie, made sketches, worked on producing detailed drawings and printed patterns .

We took inspiration from Alice in Wonderland and worked on a project to create calendars over several weeks- drawing, printing, collage. These are our amazing creations
