What can you tell us about this picture?

We looked at the work of Pablo Picasso on Friday and thought about what linked him with the other famous people we have learned about. What can you remember? Can you tell the story of this painting? Once you have left a comment about this painting, why not have a go at using this fun activity? Can you create your own cubist style picture?

3d storyboards complete in 2JS

Wow! What a lot of hard work we have all done in the last few weeks. Today we finally finished and photographed our storyboards which means that we can start editing our film tomorrow in literacy. We don’t want to give too much away before our film premiere on Friday, but here’s a sneak peak at our storyboards without the characters… I am incredibly proud of the work which 2JS have been doing. Well done!

Can you see the characters perched up on out whiteboard too? It looks as though they all sorted out their differences in the end!

William Morris design in Year 2

Year 2 have been looking at natural shape and colour in their art this half term. They have produced some amazing work, and this week they looked at the artist William Morris. As a way of looking closely at his style, they chose a design that they really liked and drew it. The results are more amazing than I hoped! Great work year 2!

Have you ever wondered what our school looks like?

Well wonder no more! Here is a picture Jonah has been working really hard on. It is part of our art topic “Can Buildings Speak” where we look at buildings from around the world and think about how they make us feel. We would love to see links to pictures of interesting buildings as comments!

Here we are drawing our pictures. More to be added…
