In art p1/2 have been looking at artwork created by the artist Jim Dine.

We were inspired by his paintings of Love Hearts, discussing his use of colour, shapes and texture.  We tried to recreate a similar effect with paint when creating our own hearts.

Using hot colours for the heart and cold colours for the background we explored printing by painting on one half of the paper and folding it over to take a print.  Once we finished them and they’d had a chance to dry we used chalk to create an outline and add highlights.

Well done, the final pictures are beautiful!

In art P1/2 have been learning about shape and combining materials to create these winter robins.  We first looked at shape and how we combine them to create an image of a robin and add a background.

We then tried to control chalks to colour the background and used crayons to colour the robin before adding some glitter.

We all found out that pens do not work very well on top of chalk!!

In Art P1/2a  have been learning how art can show emotions, we looked at “The Scream” by Edvard Munch and used chalks to create our own emotional picture.
