St Kevin's Primary and Nursery

Primary 4/5 have been developing their art skills this week.  They have been using pointillism to design their Saltire flags.

This week in Primary Three art we enjoyed exploring printmaking with some unusual materials – shaving foam and food colouring!!

We had great fun swirling the food colouring around in the shaving foam. This created a beautiful marbling effect on the paper that we pressed into it.

We then decided to choose some of our favourite Charles Rennie Mackinosh designs to draw on top with a black felt tip. We felt this would create a stained glass window look.

Don’t they look wonderful!

Hello from Primary Two

This week the children were learning all about landscape art by the Scottish colourist John Duncan Ferguson. He was inspired by French Impressionists such as Monet, and Matisse. The children really enjoyed being introduced to the features of natural scenery such as mountains, valleys, trees, rivers and forests. This was demonstrated by their landscape art which they proudly displayed.

Hello from Primary 6/7

As we have not yet introduced our class, here is primary 6/7 2016/2017

As you can see we are a happy bunch

We have a very busy year ahead so they may not look like this come June.

This week we have been looking at portraiture and have been creating portraits of William Wallace. We have been working hard on these and are looking forward to sharing the finished article on the blog this week. We are enjoying our Scotland topic so far and are lucky enough to be going to Summerlea next week on our school trip to visit the Scottish heritage site.

Primary 5/6 enjoyed working collaboratively to complete a research task relating to Famous Scottish Trademarks.

We used the Internet to successfully discover –

Where Tunnocks tea cakes are made ?

What Wiseman Dairies supply and distribute ?

We developed our art skills further this week by using printing techniques to produce a Scottish landscape picture .

We had to use our knowledge of  line and patterns  to produce a wonderful print . We were all delighted with the results !
