5th draft with charcoal
Today we completed our 5th draft using charcoal to perfect our technique before doing it on our final product. However this time we used the technique to draw London houses. We are definitely getting good at charcoal in Crew Marsh!
Using charcoal!
After already doing 3 drafts of our Dennis Creffield drawing of our school, today we did our 4th practice to improve on our artwork. We did this by reflecting and critiquing our previous artwork and how we could improve it.
Crew Marsh get Arty 👩🎨
During our writing lesson, some children access labs of learning to enhance their knowledge of vocabulary which they then use in their pieces of writing. Today the children were shown how to use the iPads to access a QR code which then led to a step by step video teaching them how to draw Little Red Riding Hood. The children worked in pairs to do this and all worked extremely hard to use these new skills and produced a great piece of art work!
Work inspired by Dennis Creffield 🖼️
As part of our expedition we have been looking at the British artist, Dennis Creffield. He used charcoal to draw every cathedral in England. We have been using charcoal to draw our school building. We have also thought lots about re-drafting and how we can use kind critique to help each other improve. These are a few of our final pieces 🏫
We have started creating our background to produce our final piece of art work, watch this space……

Budding Artist 🖌️🎨

Exploring the work of Dennis Creffield 🖼️
Today we explored the work of Dennis Creffield. Dennis was a British Artist, in 1985 he was asked to draw every cathedral in England. To do this he used charcoal. We looked at how charcoal was created which linked to our case study on Firefighters. We began to create artwork in the style of Dennis Creffield by drawing our school. We used Austins butterfly to critique our work and improve it. We can’t wait to share our next draft.
