Hokusai and Haiku

In P6/7 we have been exploring the work of artists inspired by nature, last week we looked at the wokr of Japanese print maker, Hokusai. We learned about his most famous print, The Great Wave off Kanagawa. Inspired we created our own versions and wrote Haiku poems about the stormy sea.

We then inputted our Haikus into an AI image generator to test the effectiveness of our writing. We did a great job! Well done P6/7!

Synonym Swirls

This week we have been learning about synonyms, antonyms and homonyms. We enjoyed coming up with uplevelled vocabulary to help improve our writing! We found synonyms for lots of common words and created our own synonym swirl art to display in class… and even got some synonym swirls to eat too!

National Gallery Live Art Lesson

Today we participated in a live art lesson facilitated by the National Gallery. We learned about the work of sculptor Eduard Paolozzi and then created our own cardboard sculptures which had to be held together with paper joins and seams… no glue or tape allowed!
