This term the year 2 artists have been very busy.

We looked at Aboriginal art and its origin, year 2 created a map in their sketchbooks using aboriginal art’s technique. We also found out what a didgeridoo is and decorated our own.

Together we found out all about sustainable art and how important it is for our planet and environment, we decided to upcycle everyday packages that would eventually go in the bin to each create a piece for a Christmas village, it was amazing to see the children’s ideas on their sketchbooks and there were so many great ideas! Because we were all in the Christmas mood we started our Christmas cards, children were encouraged to create their own using any techniques/mediums that they would prefer.

Year 2 Artists also started their own nativity scene in clay.

Each artist was encouraged to think about Jesus birth and how they imagine the stable would look like. These nativity scenes are adorable and the artists worked really hard to put them together.
