This week is our literacy across learning week. P1/2 are focusing on their literacy and using it to help them to find out all about an artist. Yesterday we started to learn about Angela Davidson. We found out that her pictures always have animals in them. She taught herself to paint. We think that her pictures look like real animals. She is a Scottish artist and she lives in Aberdeen. The first picture that she sold was a picture of cows’ noses. She lives with her husband and her son Lawrie. When Lawrie was little, Great Ormond Street Hospital saved his life. Angela Davidson gave £9000 to the hospital from selling a painting of Lawrie riding a horse.
Dionne – I am looking forward to painting animals
Lewis – I am looking forward to painting wild animals the same as Angela Davidson.
Ryan – I am looking forward to trying to colour the animals using paint.
Eva – I am looking forward to seeing more of this artist’s pictures.
We are all looking forward to seeing what the other classes are getting up to this week. We will update our blog later in the week to let you know what we have been learning.
I am looking forward to seeing your art work.
You have done some good research on your artist P1/2. We will definitely give you the chance to see what the other classes have done.
