Now for some Bird Art<\/em><\/strong> to inspire…<\/p>\n

This Art Work was made by pupils at Saint Andrew’s Primary during Book Week Scotland November 2020.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

P1&P2 made Pen and Pencil Drawings of Puffins after enjoying the story of Harris the Hero by Lynne Rickards and Gabby Grant.<\/p>\n

Well done little Artists on those colourful beaks and delicate cliff top flowers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

P5 painted the details of the tiny Wren after looking at the work of illustrator and designer Zoe Ingram.<\/p>\n

Notice the upright tail and the speckled feathers as she perches on the thorn.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

P6 painted the Goldfinch-usually a very colourful bird in monochrome.<\/p>\n

The Goldfinch was very popular in Victorian Times as a caged songbird.<\/p>\n

These Goldfinches have perched on Teasels as they love to peck at the tiny seeds.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

P6&P6\/7 captured birds beginning to flock together at Roosting Time-<\/p>\n

“Birds o’ a feather flock the gither”<\/p>\n

They worked with both large and small brushes using a dry technique.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

P7 inspired by a well known illustrator Quentin Black made line drawings in black ink and mixed their own colours for a colour wash.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Last but not least – The Gardeners’ Friend- Robin Redbreast.<\/p>\n

P4\u00a0 mixed their own colours to paint this wee feathery songbird sitting on the Hawthorn.<\/p>\n

He is sitting among the berries and singing his heart out.<\/p>\n

\"\" Robin Rid Breist<\/p>\n

I think the Robin might just be my favourite… or is it the little wren or maybe the Starling???<\/p>\n

I will be taking part in The Big Birdwatch<\/strong> at the weekend- maybe I’ll decide then…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

…and if you feel inspired have some drawing materials with you and see if you can capture the movement of the birds that you spot in your garden or park.<\/p>\n
