Drawing: Growing artists

The children have been learning all about the artists Max Ernst to create their own frottage pieces, and Georgia O'Keeffe to create their own abstract flowers using tone and form, whilst exploring scale and composition.

Sculpture & 3D: Abstract shape

We have been transforming 2D card shapes into three-dimensional structures and sculptures. We explored abstract shapes and space, developing our skills in constructing 3D objects, and understanding the difference between 2D and 3D art. After we had a go at manipulating card using different folds and joining techniques, we designed and created our own Christmas themed 3D sculptures. We worked collaboratively to create trees, baubles, snowmen and even a sleigh and toy airplane.

Painting and mixed media - prehistoric media

We have been exploring prehistoric art, recreating the style of cave artists using charcoal and natural pigments found in the playground. We experimented with colour mixing, and creating large-scale artworks, enhancing both artistic skills and historical knowledge. 

Year Threes at work 23-24

We learnt all about the artist Max Ernst and created our own 'frottage' pieces of art using texture rubbings to create nature inspired artwork.

We also created our own botanical drawings from observations, applying techniques to add tone and form to shapes before exploring scale and composition to create abstract drawings of flowers inspired by Gillian O'Keeffe and Maud Purdy.
