Here are our finished book covers which will be part of our cultural diversity display in our library. We enjoyed using African patterns on our art work as well as thinking about the significant people in our lives who will be on the spine of our books.
Today we started to explore a new artist- Yinka Shonibare. Yinka explores cultural identity and globalisation. We watched a clip to further our knowledge then worked together to produce an anchor chart. We looked at some of Yinka’s work and offered our own critique based on what we thought the art represented. We then explored African patterns thinking about what we could see, the colours used and what the patterns were like. Our mission was to create our own patterns that will be the book cover of some books in our library. Once we got creative, we ensured we kept stopping, offering critique to each other that would help us improve our work.
We then thought about what the word significant means and significant people from the past and in the world. We thought about people in our own lives that have made a significant contribution to us. These people will be placed on the spine of our books.
We all really enjoyed our morning and are excited to keep working through our art case study.
Here they are! Our Christmas cards! I think you will agree that all of our drafts and re-drafts, practising our printing and colour mixing really did pay off! We all worked so hard getting these cards ready for Christmas and Mrs Dorman, Mrs Mason and our parents are really proud of us!
Happy Christmas!
In Year 2, we have finished our Picasso artwork, we have loved choosing different shapes and creating our snowmen in cubism form. We hope you love them as much as we do!
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.
WOW! 🌟 I am blown away by the effort Crew Thompson have put in to their artwork! It has took weeks of hard work to get to this but we have preserved to complete it to the best of own ability! We are so proud of ourselves!!!
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 ☺️
