Year 3 have been exploring expressive mark-making in paint, using various tools to create a range of different marks. They were introduced to the terms Sgraffito and Impasto. Their experimenting also led to some practical colour mixing, reinforcing their knowledge of primary and secondary colours. 🖌🎨
Reception thoroughly enjoyed a creative junk modelling session in Art with Mrs Pirie. Inspired by their class story Izzy Gizmo, the children used their imagination to design and build something that could help an animal. They were excited to bring in lots of recycling items from home to bring back to life. Their ideas included dog food dispensers, a cosy caterpillar home, a secure bird perch, monkey treats, a springboard to help birds soar higher, and many other inventive creations. Each child proudly shared their finished model with the class, talking about how they made it and the thinking behind their design. We may well have some future inventors, engineers and designers in the making in Reception!
