In Art p5 have been learning how to form models using newspaper.

We started by drawing and researching creatures that live in and around Lerwick harbour.

After choosing our favourite one we learned how to manipulate newspaper to create a 3d model of it. We used cellulose paste and tissue paper to cover them and add details.

They all worked extremely hard and have done a fantastic job, well done p5! 😍

In Art p5 have been using Styrofoam to create a snowman block print.

First we came up with an image of a snowman then transferred it onto the Styrofoam, pressing into it with a pencil to create an indent.  We then had a block which could be used to produce many prints and make Christmas cards.

The class really enjoyed this project, learning about the process of rolling, inking, and printing.

Here are the first prints they took from their block….😍

In art this week p5 have had a fun session designing and creating their own Viking shields,helmets and other accessories.

They’ve done a fantastic job and showed such good creativity!!

For our Art Lesson p5 had a visit to Da Gadderie at the museum.  We went to see the Art’sCool exhibition.

The exhibition is a display of art work produced by pupils aged P1-S6, from schools all over Shetland.

Everybody enjoyed looking at and talking about the artwork on show. After spending some time talking about it all, pupils chose their favourite pieces to analyse and sketch from.

It was so lovely to get out and view some “real” artwork.
A very good time was had by all! 😊

In art p5 have been getting creative with some jewellery making materials.  They explored the given materials and created some interesting design ideas for “mood rings”.

They then made their chosen design ensuring that it fitted on their fingers.

The class really enjoyed the challenge of working with wire and created these fabulous rings 🥰

In art p5 have been creating their own Aliens collage.

We have been exploring different materials and learning how to combine and layer them to create interesting and eye-catching effects.

Well done primary 5 😊
