We have been learning about the famous Scottish artist Charles Rennie Mackintosh. We used some of his inspirations such as the natural world and geometric shapes to create our own artwork. We used a demonstration video to help us draw the famous “Mackintosh Rose.” Have a look at our fabulous stain glass window designs!
We we have been learning about the life of Vincent Van Gogh. We really enjoyed creating our own version of the famous Sunflowers picture using oil pastels. Some of the children used oil pastels for the first time and they did very well.
After learning about the forces of pushing and pulling, P1 dipped some moving toys in paint and pushed them along some paper to make some pretty creative art.
After looking at some of Andy Warhol’s work, P1 created their own. Here is a few super examples. The colours look very effective.
Today, Primary 4 celebrated the life of Robert Burns by learning to recite two verses of his famous poem, “To a Mouse” off by heart.
The children added fabulous expression to their voices and afterwards, completed a Metalinguistics task investigating some old Scottish words such as ‘sleekit.’
Great enthusiasm P4!
Today our group began the task of creating our display to let others know what we do during leadership time. We made display lettering from recycled rubbish and began painting the background of our design. Stay tuned to see how it turns out!
Primary 4 children have been working on their drawing skills and the skill of blending using chalk pastels. We used a picture of the famous Eilean Donan castle to help us make our work look realistic.
Glenmanor Choir were a credit to the school today when they sang at the lovely Princes Square in aid of The Quarriers.
We were delighted to have our local MSP, Fulton MacGregor in school today to present one of our boys with a prize for winning a Christmas card design competition. He received a framed version of his design as well as a cinema ticket and chocolates to enjoy. His design will be used on Fulton’s Christmas cards this year. Well done to this artistic boy!
