Crew Hamill have continued with their art work this week, creating a second draft based on peer critique. We looked at our first drafts and gave our peers a praise, notice and wonder for them. We then used these to begin our second draft, ensuring we responded to our critique to make improvements.
Today in our art lesson we did our first and second drafts of our Pablo Picasso snowmen. We thought about the features of a snowman and then how we could use the shapes we had seen in Picasso’s artwork to make our own cubist snowman. After our first and second drafts we worked in pairs to offer critique that was kind, specific and helpful. Well done Crew Robson, I can’t wait to see your 3rd drafts tomorrow!
Today we competed our first draft of our Christmas artwork – a snowman in the style of Picasso. The children critiqued each others art work with kind and specific feedback, as we have previously using Austin’s Butterly. We could already see improvements when we completed our second draft.
Today we have listened to critique and feedback and redrafted our first piece. We have worked on the first section by making sure we have the right blue tones blended out into pinks. It was hard to master but there has been some amazing improvements so far. The children have worked really hard to follow the critique given.
Last week, Crew Hamill began their Art Slice, focusing on the use of watercolours to create a background. We looked at 12 different watercolour techniques including flat wash, gradient wash and splatter.
Today, we have continued with our watercolour painting, focusing on the four sections we need for the background of our work. We used flat wash and gradient wash to get the desired effects and experimented with mixing colours in order to get our desired shades.
Today we have practised some of the images that we will apply to our final pieces. We used some of the acrylic techniques that we looked at last week as we practised. We then gave our partner some critique based on their images. We then had a further practise where we applied the critique we had been given to improve our work. This really helped us with our Christmas trees for our final draft! There were some great praises, notices and wonders given out today that really made us think about how we can make our work better. We look forward to using our critique and adding it to our next draft.
Crew Haddock tried some sketching techniques today ready to start their calendars 😁✏️
They did hatching, cross-hatching, scribbling ,stippling , circling and finger blending
Today in Crew Robson we began our Christmas Art Slice with a gallery walk of artwork by the cubist artist Pablo Picasso. We shared our notices and praises and then moved on to look specifically at the shapes he uses in his artwork.
“I notice his eyes are two different sizes” Alissia
“I notice his face is lots of different colours” Teddy
“I wonder why some of the face is missing” Evesham
Today in Crew Godley we began our Christmas Art Slice with a gallery walk of artwork by the cubist artist Pablo Picasso. We shared our notices and praises and then moved on to look specifically at the shapes he uses in his artwork.
We continued our art slice by practicing different acrylic paint techniques.
Then, we started the first draft of our Christmas calendar. This involved using the sponge technique to create the background using colour mixing. We have already started to critique our first attempt and realised we’ll need to be more precise with colour mixing on our second draft.
Finally, we started to sketch the trees for each season. Again, we started to reflect and think about what we’ll need to do differently on the next draft.
