May I start by saying a huge thank you to everyone who has sent me pictures of your art and craft activities.  I have really enjoyed looking at each and every one.  If you haven’t already, please take a moment to look through the posts so that you can see what your friends have been up to.

I have set out a list of art ideas that you can do over the next two weeks.  It could be that you prefer to come up with your own idea or want to do something that another Year group is doing – that would be absolutely fine.  The most important thing is that you have fun doing something creative.  Feel free to encourage other family members to get involved too.

 

Year 6

Holy Week:

This is a real challenge: 

Draw an event from Holy week in the style of a famous Artist.  You have to let me know the inspiration that you used, with a sentence or two.  It could be in the style of Lowry or Munch, both artists we have studied this year, or your favourite artist, such as Van Gogh or Monet.  You can get inspiration from the internet or a family bible with pictures.

Year 5

Holy Week

Use Street Art to represent one aspect of Holy week.  It could be ‘Hosanna’ when the crowds were for Jesus or ‘Crucify Him’ as the crowd turned against Him. Alternatively, it could be ‘Do this in memory of me’. If you prefer, you can do a thought provoking picture/image in the style of Street Art.

 

Year 4

Palm Sunday or Good Friday

Create a drawing or painting of either Palm Sunday or Good Friday in the style of Vincent Van Gogh, as he is one of the artists we have studied this year. For example, think of one of his famous painting, such as Starry, Starry night, and use this as inspiration for your own picture.

 

Year 3

Leonardo Da Vinci did a famous painting of The Last Supper.

 

 

 Can you draw, colour or paint you own Last Supper picture? 

 

Year 2

Draw or paint a scene from Good Friday.  You can take inspiration from one of the pictures you find on the internet, or use your own imagination. Try to use either pointillism, Pop Art or a combination of the two.

 

Year 1

Make a cross to symbolise Good Friday.  It can be done in a variety of ways: either by drawing or painting, using pastels, or make a collage cross using a variety of materials. If you prefer, you can go outside and make one using natural materials.

 

Reception

Make or draw either a cross or an Easter egg, then decorate it using a variety of different materials that you find around your house.

 

For every Year Group:

However, if none of these appeal to you , why not try one of these?

Fancy something different:

Make a stained glass window about ONE of the Stations of the Cross that means the most to you.

Create your own Easter Garden, include a simple cross, cave/tomb, add flowers and/or seeds that will grow over Easter.

 

I will also love to see any other art work that you make and will post it on the Art Blog.

Email your art work to me:

Remember to include your name and Year group

Thank you

Wow! This is just too good not to share!

As you can see, Alana has been working so hard on her school project about the digestive system.  She has created this ‘life-size’ model to show how the digestive system works.  I am so impressed with this I think it could even be used in hospitals to help train doctors and dietitians. Thanks for sharing this Alana.

Wow!  Look at this stunning Mardi Gras Mask created by Faith.   It is so bright and colourful it would be right at home at the Rio Carnival.  Thank you for sharing Faith…and for being the first one on the Year 6 post!

This brilliant Brazilian plate, by Toby, features several aspect of Brazil.  The flag has been carefully coloured and the sketch of the toucan is very life like.  Thanks for sharing Toby!

Wow!  This magnificent Mardi Gras Mask has been created by Hayden and it is truly spectacular.  It is clear that he has done his research and looked at a variety of masks before deciding to create this one.  Well done Hayden and thank you for sharing this!
