Junior School Art 2021-2022

The curriculum is based on the elements of art and the pupils follow the same element but complete different tasks.

In the Christmas term we study line, pattern, shape, colour and texture.

The Year 4s made Zentangle canaries, Georgia O’ Keeffe flowers, rockets with shadows and Christmas tree decorations.

The Year 5s investigated Gondstyle patterns from India, studied the painter Wenzel Hablick and made Christmas decorations for the school tree. Year 6 designed their own paisley patterns, made prints using mid-century fabric as a starting point and painted winter trees. All the year groups finished the term playing the surrealist drawing game ‘Exquisite Corpse’! Moving on to the Spring term, we looked at 3D. Year 4 made a knee bowl, Year 5 created foil sculptures of people in motion and Year 6 made some beautiful sculptures of their favourite activities. We have made masks and studied perspective and proportion. The jubilee was celebrated with paintings of corgis! The pupils approached their work with enthusiasm and gusto, producing beautiful pieces of art.
