Year 4 - December 23

Today year 4 have completed their painting topic with an art composition. We first of all had to place and arrange different objects for the perfect Birds Eye view. After, the children had to then sketch their composition and complete it by painting it this afternoon.

Over the past two weeks, Year 4 have been creating their own batik fabrics. We have based these on the rainforest oil pastel artwork we completed.

In Year 2 Art this term we are learning different crafts. This week was all about wet felting - a process where you make a piece of felted fabric from wool fibres. Ours were based on images from our interpretations of a local map of Alsager.

Year 2 - April 2023

As we start a new unit of work, we have been looking at maps for inspiration along with the work of Susan Stockwell who creates art pieces and instillations from maps, toilet paper, computer components and even money! 

We started to create our own map art work based on a map showing the journey from Excalibur to Alsager Library.

Year 6 worked really hard replicating chiaroscuro, the Italian term which means light and dark. We used Mayan calendar symbols that we felt represented our personalities.

Picasso Potraits - Year 4 - October 2021

On Friday afternoon in year 4 we have created our own Picasso portrait! The children experimented with a funny face shape and where to put their eyes and noses. Then the children drew out their face more realistic and painted it. Lots of fun getting messy!
