We used oil pastels and worked together to recreate a giant masterpiece.
We learned how to paint in the style of the impressionist painters. We used acrylic paints and worked on marine plywood canvases to create what will become an outdoor gallery for our peaceful patch. We were all very proud of the results especially our independant colour mixing. See if you can spot Monet's famous paintings that we used as inspiration.
We used our observation and sketching skills to create some beautiful notebook style art. We loved having a classroom full of real flowers all week too!
By far the most popular workshop this week was the clay workshop supported by students from The Blandford School. We made clay water lillies and used lots of new tools and techniques. We learned how to crosshatch (hashtag! ###) and use slip to join pieces of clay together. Everyone who wandered past during the workshops was amazed at how beautiful the results were. What do you think? (We think you will use the word WOW!)
We also decided to make an art installation for the last day of Arts week. We spent any spare minutes during the week making papercraft poppies. By Friday we had made more than 100 and put them out on the hill behind school to recreate Monet's famous painting. Can you see the similarities?
On Friday we celebrated with the whole school by holding an art exhibition in the hall. It was amazing and we were all so proud and happy to show our grown-ups round. Here are some of the highlights for those that couldn't make it.
Here are some photos that we couldn't resist sharing of Year 2 in action!
A big thank you to Mrs Hargreaves, students from The Blandford School and all the parents that came in and helped too. We couldn't have done it without you!
