Marvellous Marks!

It has been so delightful welcoming Reception into the Create Room. This half term, the children have been busy exploring different media and mark making. From wax crayons to chalks and felt tips, we have thought about various marks we can make using different methods. The children have loved these sessions were very proud of their work.

Just like that a whole year of school as come to an end…

What a busy term we all had.

During this term we have started our Food Tech and we had a blast of smells and flavours in our art room and around school.

I think it is safe to say that we all had fun and although sometimes a little bit fearful of trying new flavours we all had a go and the results of our makings were super tasty.

Thank you to you all for supporting us and for your patient too, it is a learning curve for the children but for staff too.

“Art is a place for children to learn to trust their ideas, themselves, and to explore what is possible.” MaryAnn F. Khol

During this term we have been remarkably busy, the children are so creative and always have an eager to learn new techniques and new skills.

They are curious to learn about past and contemporary artists, their artwork and life as artists.

We have taken inspiration from a couple of artists to then ourselves create beautiful masterpieces. We have looked at an artist’s mindset and concluded that in art there is no mistakes, in art we can experiment and take risks knowing that it will always be a masterpiece and the most important is to have fun and enjoy the process! I learn so much from the children as well, we often as adults tend to complicate things and children have such a straightforward way of being creative.
