P6a have been learning about our very own artist Charles Rennie Mackintosh. We found out that he came from Glasgow but was more appreciated in Europe during his lifetime. For these drawings we looked at the specific shapes which Mackintosh used. We also used the effects which he used to create flowers. Can you spot any features of Mackintosh in our drawings?
We are also planning an educational visit to Scotland Street School as part of our Victorians topic.
Primary 5 used their design skills to create these lovely colourful characters and then printed their backgrounds using stencils they had created.
Primary 5a studied ‘Splash’ by David Hockney and then created their own version using his particular style. There are lots of straight lines and blocks of colour.
All the Primary 5 children performed their song beautifully. We have added a special affect for internet safety but you can see their actions are spot!
Primary 5a looked at some pictures painted by Claude Monet. They tried to use the same style of painting to create their own and many of them were very successful. We are happy to hang these on our wall!
When it’s too cold or wet outside and we can’t get out for P.E. primary 5a like to use Just Dance. We have some great moves! Check us out!
In Art we have been learning about the work of the famous painter Salvador Dali. We looked at his pictures to inspire us and then created our own clock paintings. Here are some of our creations.
I enjoyed learning about Dali and painting some of his pictures- Ruby.
The children were given the month of March to create a picture for the school calendar. As March is associated with the wind they made individual kites using the design from their social justice pictures. We thought we would give you a preview and hope that this might encourage you to buy the calendar this year.
