Willowbank School, KilmarnockThe Transition class have been investigating the great outdoors.
After sourcing some natural materials, leaves, bark and acorns, the boys took rubbings using wax crayons.
They then used the patterns created to draw around animal templates and created some rather unusual pictures.
Confident individuals. Well done boys!
The Pine class focused their attention on designing some aquatic artwork. the pupils used some circular shaped collage materials to create their own fish for display.
We discussed, pattern, shape, colour and texture.
Super successful learners. Excellent work!
The pupils in the Beech class have been actively participating in some ‘Under the Sea’ artwork.
Marbling inks were dropped onto a tray of water before the ink was lifted onto white paper. And I’m sure you’ll agree that that the results are awesome!
Confident individuals in the Beech class!

The Pine class have been working hard since returning to school. Each week, the pupils have been participating actively and designing a picture which focuses on one colour of the rainbow at a time.
Check out these fabulous Pink Panther images which were created by using the large sensory stampers and pink paint.
Super work by these confident individuals. Well done!
The pupils in the Planets class have been continuing work on their class topic, The Jungle Book.

Everyone was actively engaged when creating characters from the story. A range of sensory materials were used and the final creations will appear on the class display board.
Well done to these effective contributors. Keep up the good work!
Hello everyone. I hope you are all keeping well.
This week the art focus is to create paintbrushes from natural resources. As it is POLO week, you may wish to use items which can be found outdoors. For example, twigs, grass, leaves, herbs etc. You can also use mud instead of paint!
Take care and stay safe.
Mrs Macdonald. 
I hope you have all had a lovely weekend. 
The art challenge this week is to try and create some interesting images using a rubbing technique.
Wax crayons or coloured pencil will work best when used with white paper. This activity can be completed indoors or out.
Have fun and stay safe.
Mrs Macdonald
Good morning!
I hope you are all keeping well and staying safe. This week the art challenge is focussed around the sunny weather.
If you are able to get outdoors then perhaps you’d like to try some shadow drawing. You could trace around absolutely anything, even the people in your household!
Perhaps try tracing with chalk or filling in the shadowed area with water. Or maybe create some shadow puppets. This can be done indoors with templates or hands.
Stay safe in the sun!
Mrs Macdonald.
Good morning everyone!
I hope you all enjoyed the Bank Holiday weekend, despite the rainy weather.
Please find below a link on how to make your own sensory cloud dough. It’s super simple to make and uses only two ingredients:
Food colouring can also be added but this is optional.

Good morning everyone!
This week the art challenge is all about rainbows. There are lots of rainbows around reminding us to stay safe.
Follow the link below if you would like to try growing you very own.

Alternatively, you may wish to create a collage rainbow. If you don’t have access to coloured paper or paint, then why not use recycled material like empty cereal boxes, crisp packets, magazines, bottle tops… whatever you have!
There is colour all around us, brightening up our day and making us smile.
Take care and stay safe.
Mrs. Macdonald.
