Art Challenge

Today Years 3 and 4 teamed up with Years 1 and 2 to compete in an art challenge.  The challenge was based on Richard Long's work who uses natural materials to create his art.

 Getting ready for the challenge

Off we go!

 

 



 

Team work

 

What can I do with this?

 Some inspirational examples.

Year 34 visit Stonehenge

 Finding out what it was like inside the Neolithic houses. This is where the people who built Stonehenge might have lived. They were quite dark and very basic!

 Attempting (and failing) to pull one of the stones. It took ten years to move the stones from Wales to the site.

 The stones. And Elliot.

 Using the binoculars we got in our discovery packs.

 Sketching the stones. We appear to have some excellent artists.

 Inside the exhibition centre.

 Awe and wonder face.

 This screen showed Stonehenge in all seasons and the significance of the sun. Clearly too overwhelming for one visitor. :)

Some of our art - we will be using these sketches in school to do some painting.

Year 3/4 have had an Australia Day making art

A finale from Mr Brooks

Listen to Me. Great playing from everyone!

Tate's Copse. A local place to visit. Have you got any ideas how we could make it even better?

There were lots of interesting things to draw. Great practice for our sketching skills.

Another trip to Tate's Copse. Super weather too!
