Towards the end of term we were learning a little about the artist, L. S. Lowry. We compared the scenes in his paintings to Annan and talked about his life. Charcoal and chalk were used to produce our own art work in the style of Lowry and we have put some on display in the school corridor. Can anyone spot their picture here?

As part of our learning about Autumn, the children developed a good awareness of the changing colours of the leaves at this time of year. This learning developed further in the art area as some experimented to mix different shades of paint which were then used for vegetable printing. The children produced some lovely work which is now displayed in Nursery and the school corridor. We hope that you enjoy our little taster here of some of the artists at work.

Having been inspired by our recent discussions about Vincent Van Gogh, the children have had the opportunity to create their own sunflower artwork which has formed beautiful, bright displays in both rooms. We would like to share a selection of some of their work – please take the time to have a look at the displays in Nursery too as we think that the children have produced some great art.

Kacey’s Mum has been enjoying the Arcimboldo artwork that you all did:
“Brilliant pictures guys!”
We love how they are all different. The children loved taking part in this activity and most managed to resist eating the art materials although it was quite tempting for some.
As part of our learning about Autumn at the end of term, we looked at some of the work of the artist Arcimboldo. We looked closely at his “Autumn” portrait on the Promethean board to see how he used food to depict the seasons as faces then we used food to make our own portraits. As you can see, some of the children have been inspired by learning about this artist and have produced some super work.

We have been learning a little about Vincent Van Gogh and have looked at two of his paintings to talk about which we prefer. Here are some of the children’s thoughts.
Darcy: “The Starry Night” is best. I like the moon.
Jacob: I like the “Sunflowers” – it’s pretty.
Fearne: the “Sunflowers” is nice – they’ve got nice petals.
Caidy: I like the pot on the “Sunflowers” one.
Max A.: I like “The Starry Night”. I like the stars.
Callum: I like the “Sunflowers” ’cause they’re so shiny.
Wareeshah: I like “Sunflowers”. I’ve got it at home.
Brooke: I like “Sunflowers” ’cause it’s like summer.
Aoife: I like “Starry Night” ’cause it’s a bit dark.
Finlay T.: I like the yellow bits on “Starry Night”.
Jade G.: I like the circle bits on “Starry Night”.
Jayden: I like “Starry Night”. I like the stars and the big thing.
We have been learning about the work of the artist Kandinsky in Nursery and have compared his work to that of Arcimboldo which was so enjoyed by the children last term. A range of media has been used to create artwork in the style of Kandinsky and the children have been amazed and delighted to be able to produce a piece of art that looks similar to that of a famous artist. As you can see, some of their super work has been done outdoors as well as indoors for display. We hope that enjoy our little Kandinsky gallery. I wonder if the children can find their own work?

Emma’s family has been looking at our Arcimboldo work where the children used foods to make portraits:
“Looks like Emma’s having fun!! Wonder how much food went missing during this activity hee hee.”
As you can imagine, we needed close supervision in the art area but the children did really respond well to this activity.
