Today in Crew MW, we had a walk round to forest school to take part in some outdoor learning. We took some clay out with us and used rolling pins to roll it out flat. We then collected an interesting object like a leaf or a branch and rolled this into the clay to make a print. We were really excited with how our prints came out and we can’t wait to paint them and have a look at them all once they’ve dried!
Crew MW spent today creating their final Christmas cards! We used our first drafts to think about what we liked and what we wanted to change. After that, we drew our wire using pencil, then went over it with a black line, mixed our colours and then printed them using our fingers to create the lights. We think that our work looks beautiful!
Crew MW spent time today looking at our first drafts for our Christmas cards. We had a look at the example and began using our critique to talk about it…We noticed that our example had lots of bright colours in, but we wondered if our cards could include some of favourite colours.
After we had talked about what we were going to create, we begun our first drafts. We started by drawing our twirly wire for the lights, and then mixed our colours and used our fingers to print the lights onto the wire.
Once our first drafts were completed, we used a gallery walk to have a look at each others. We loved giving each other praises about our beautiful work and we loved talking about what we would do differently when we make our cards.
Today the children have taken home their Christmas calendars. We have drafted and redrafted the work as we’ve gone along and started to show some improvement with our painting skills. As a crew, we have discussed that with more time, we could have improved them even more but we were happy with the progress we’d made so far and hope to continue to develop our painting skills. Well done Crew Shields for your perseverance and resilience.
Crew Hamill have worked EXTREMELY hard over the last few weeks to to draft, redraft and create their final piece for their art slice. Today, we finished by adding our leaves to our tree so that they could finally be turned into our calendars! We cannot wait to take these home tomorrow ☺️
Crew Godley have been working hard on their third draft of their snowmen for our Christmas calendars. You can see just how much they have reflected on their art work and the shapes they have used to create snowmen in the style of Picasso. We can’t wait to see how the final product takes shape!
Here’s a little sneak peek of our third drafts, well done Riley and Jax.
This week, we have started our Christmas art slice. We began by learning about the artist Vincent Van Gough and critiqued some of his most famous pieces. We then explored and tried out different techniques using acrylic paint.
After that, we consolidated our sketching techniques.
With our skills practised, we were ready to begin out first draft of our final piece.
We then did a gallery walk and offered critique to further improve our next draft… but you’ll have to wait for those…
It has been lovely finding out what children have been working on across school. Well done to all the children who have shared their beautiful work with me over the last 2 weeks. Some fantastic work 🙂
Thank you to all of our grown up who came to our celebration of learning yesterday! It was lovely to see so many of you and Crew MW loved showing off all of their beautiful work from their Autumn Term expedition. We are so proud of everything that they have achieved in such a short space of time!
Today in Crew MW, we started our Christmas artwork! The skill we are focussing on is colour mixing..We had lots of fun using our hands to print into one colour, our partner then printed in the second colour and then we mixed our hands together to see what colour the mixed colours made. We found out that blue and red make purple, yellow and red makes orange, and blue and yellow makes green! 🎨
