Community Council asked pupils from Ellon Primary School to draw the Auld Brig in Ellon and submit their work to be displayed in Ellon Library.
Here are some photos of their walk to the bridge and some of the artwork that they produced.

We thought about what we thought Romans looked like and what we wanted to find out about. We were archaeologists and we were digging up objects and some were old and some were new. We played the archaeology game on the computer. Some people have been looking for old objects out in the playground! On Friday we drew round a person to make Roman and Celt warriors and ladies. We are making volcanoes with Mrs Connell at Art.
We made posters and one group got to go up and tell everyone all about it. They told us about feelings – feeling happy, sad and excited. The P1s posters were about happy and sad. All the posters were brilliant.
We drew pictures of a toy shop and we had each square with toys from different years. We looked at The Toy Shop picture painted by Peter Blake. The Toy Shop is an olden days one. We are getting on great with them.
This week we have been learning about an artist called Michel Keck. He is a dog artist. He draws dogs and he puts on collage. We talked about the unusual pictures and thought they were very colourful and outstanding. We thought that you wouldn’t see them every day! Some of us didn’t like them. We tried to copy them and drew some dogs. We put lots of colours on and we stuck on some bits of paper. We put in lots of detail. The pictures we made were brilliant!!
Artworks entered into the art exhibition in room 14 will be going on sale this week. Pupils are invited to come to view the exhibition at lunch time on Thursday and Friday. If they want to buy a painting they can bid for it by writing their name, the name of the person whose painting they want to buy and how much they are willing to bid. The highest bidder will get the painting.
Minimum bid 50p. Only paintings next to a coloured dot are for sale. Money raised goes towards Ms Strachan’s trip to Tanzania to build a school.
All welcome. Please come along.
