With left over acrylic paint and thick card, Middle S created some small canvas art.
Thanks to The Creativity Exchange we ended up with quite a stunning Small Painting Gallery Wall.

Our First Art Lesson as Middle S in 2018

Today we had our first art lesson as the new Middle S for 2018. We studied Pablo Picasso and the cubist portraits he painted.
Then we made our own...

Sustainable Art - Bird Feeders

Over the last 2 weeks, we made bird feeders in Art, using old plastic containers and bottles and bark we found around our gardens. Some of us made a bird feeder (or bird hotel) with a partner and some of us chose to make one on our own.

Australian Art: Sherbrooke Forest by Fred Williams

Over the last 2 weeks the Middles have been working on an art piece inspired by the Australian Artist Fred Williams. Mrs Yore shared a beautiful slide show with us of her class' paintings from a few years ago. These were a great inspiration to us as well as seeing Fred Williams original pieces.

Fish Art

This week's art lessons was inspired by the Art of Roger Swainston an Australian painter and illustrator, whose focus is underwater images of marine life.
The students drew sketches of their chosen fish in the Visual Art Diaries and then did their good copy on A4 white cover paper, in grey lead pencil. We discussed using texta to provide detail and colour, but then many students decided to use pastels, because of the texture it provides and the colours they can create. Other students used metallic pencils and pastels because they better represented the shimmering scales of some fish.
