Hello from Miss McCluskey.

I hope that you have enjoyed my posts so far-

  Turner Exhibition

Perhaps you managed to visit the ‘Turner In January’ Online Exhibition at the National Galleries.

(This Exhibition has now finished but if you didn’t get a chance to see some of the prints, oils and watercolours- NGS has a collection within Art & Artists)

You can view these Landscapes and Seascapes at

Mountain pass in Switzerland 1804

I hope to do Spotlight Features

on a range of Artists as part of the Art & more Blog

so watch out for Turner in the future…

 

    Snow Art

Maybe you made some Art about snow, in snow or even from snow!

These Snowflakes were made by children in the P.3 Bubble.

They used Oil Pastels and Watercolour to good effect.

     

     

These Snowflakes were made by P.6 Children.

They used black and white paint and carefully mixed a variety of grey tones on black paper.

  We will continue to experiment and explore with colour and tone – so watch this space…

 

  Birdwatching- Drawing outdoors

Did you do a bit of Bird-spotting and take a sketchbook outside-

This ‘One Minute Drawing’ was made using a basic black ink pen.

I sat very still and watched the birds for a little bit- They were flying back and forth, up and down, from tree to ground and away off into the air.

I kept my eyes on the birds and began to draw a wing here, a tail there- not looking at the paper just lifting my pen as a bird landed or took off!

It was good fun- Why not have a go!

  Promises of more Outdoor Art

in the Big Garden Birdwatch and also look out for our Big School Birdwatch.

   New Things…

Ready to share soon.
