Scrap to Sculpture

Last Friday as part of our Art lessons we looked at the work of Eduardo Paolozzi. We tuned in to a live broadcast from The National Galleries of Scotland to lead this session. After exploring the artist a little we then created our own paper creations using only scissors with no glue or sellotape in sight! The creativity was exceptional with everyone helping each other, communicating politely and demonstrating critical thinking. We are going to follow this up in our creativity lesson this week using our French theme and transferring our art skills in to a new concept

Beach Collage

On Friday we all started to create a beach collage inspired from Silver Sand beach in Aberdour. We started by painting the sea using paint, then positioned little scraps of paper carefully on to our paper to look like sand. Next week we will add our own flip flop design and starfish. Everyone worked well together and used creativity and super collaboration.

Sky Scraper Sundae

A busy morning in Woodmuir completing our Sky scraper sundae art work. The children first of all had to draw their tall outline and design each of their sections with a pattern and colour of their choice. At the end they had to outline their drawing in black pen and cut around the drawing carefully. A super start to our art project this term involving drawing skills such as understanding shapes, lines and proportions.

Art Friday

Today our creativity hour was designing word art! We were working online with the National Galleries of Scotland and two fabulous industry experts-Lorna and Liz. They talked about exploring different artwork and the use of communication and words. We then created our own word art to display around the school and even one on a small paper towel!

Lots of positive and inspiring messages of hope which uplift us! A brilliant piece of work from everyone.
