Look at the fantastic Ancient Greek vases the class made with Mrs Horrocks in art this term. The children had to research the different pots, create a design and make their pots by using a basic template and adding papier mache before painting.

Luke’s amazing art
We’ve learned this year in Rowan Class that Luke is a big fan of motorbikes. Check out his amazing art work.
Under the sea artwork
Yesterday and today the Kraken bubble have been working with Mrs Wakeford on some under the sea art. They used birthday candles, salt and watercolour paint to produce some beautiful scenes which are now displayed on our classroom wall for everyone to see.
Day 3 and some lovely art from Isaac
Yesterday Mr Stanley completed tidying up his cupboard and also audited some Year 6 history resources. A final bit of clearing up today and then some serious paperwork starts.
Far more importantly, thank you for your emails and work which you have been sharing. Yesterday Isaac emailed in his fantastic drawing of a tortoise. Check it out below!
African Printing
In art, Rowan Class have been looking at African patterns as we are learning about Uganda. The first thing we did was practise printing, as most of us didn’t know how to do this. We got into groups and worked on how to print different patterns. We had to roll acrylic paint on a palette until it was nice and thick and then we had to roll it on to a polystyrene tile on which we had created a design. The next step was to place the tile on black paper and push it down.
After that, we looked at different African patterns. We researched the patterns at home and brought in some examples to discuss which patterns would be best for our final design. We created an African design in our art books and traced it on to tracing paper, which was then put on to a new polystyrene tile. With a sharp pencil, we dug out the polystyrene on the design lines so it was deep enough. Once this was completed we created a pattern using several tiles on paper before repeating the process on fabric. We left the fabric to dry and in the coming weeks they will be turned in to wall hangings.
Perspective in art
The children of Class AS were lucky to be working with Mrs Horrocks in art this week. In Thursday’s lesson the children learnt how to paint a mountain scene with perspective. They have all included a path that starts as a pin-prick at the horizon, flowing down through the mountain range finishing as a close up in the foreground of the painting.  Beautiful pictures have been painted by all the children, showing different mixes of colours for the background, middle ground and foreground.
A few of these paintings can be seen below:
Celtic Drinking Vessels
In art this term the children have been working with Mrs Horrocks to create Celtic drinking vessels. The children researched Celtic designs then followed a detailed process to produce their clay vessels with the Celtic designs on. The results, as I’m sure you’ll agree are very impressive. The children also did some writing about their vessels and produced a short piece of film which can be seen below.
