Elsie’s rock pool

A couple of weeks ago we started making our rock pools out of clay in art. We first made a bowl and covered it in stone like shapes,clay shells and starfish. This took us at least 2 weeks. Then we let them dry, and once they were dry we put them in the kiln. To add colour we glazed them and put in a marble and a piece of broken glass from the beach as an experiment to make th melted glass look like water. They turned out very nice and the glass experiment was a success. Continue reading Elsie and Holly’s rock pools r

5 Shetland Schools – The Art World @ Bonhoga

Today, primaries 1 and 6 went to see the exhibition at Bonhoga.  They saw all the work that they had done with Mrs Hunter and Amy Gear in Art.  They also saw work done by children from other schools in Shetland.

We asked the primary 1 what their favourite things were.  They said “busy bogies”, “the firework”, “outside in the long grass among the sculptures” and “finding pencils upstairs”

Horrible Histories with Martin Brown

When I heard that Martin Brown was coming in to see us I was  very excited! I really enjoy reading the Horrible History books and I think that the illustrations really compliment the book. I like the style of his drawings, they really inspire me. I love to draw cartoons and I really enjoyed it when he showed  us some of his drawing techniques. He was really good at getting your attention when he was explaining something. I really, really liked listening to what he was saying and I would love to meet him again.

Martin Brown was funny and he is a talented cartoon artist. He told us how to draw a horse, he said, “If you don’t keep drawing a lot then your horse will look like a sausage.”

I really enjoyed the event. I loved listening to all the horrible facts and doing the fun activities. Martin Brown made the event really fun and enjoyable to listen to. I learned lots from the lesson like how Mary Queen of Scots gave the axeman a gift before her execution. I also learned a lot about drawing such as how to draw a cartoon horse. Thank you very much for coming Martin!

I really enjoyed Martin Brown coming to the school, he was very funny and he is a very good drawer. He showed us that even if you don’t draw realistically it doesn’t mean you’re not a good drawer. Callum McLean P7

 

I thought Martin was funny, cool and just plain AWESOME! He is oh so good at drawing and he is not boring and I love the Horrible Histories. My favourite one is Edinburgh so keep up the good work Martin! Shay Polson P5
