if you go down to the woods today..

Y5 went on a woodland walk today - came back with lots of material both physically (leaves, bark etc.) and metaphorically (rich language - adjectives, similes etc.) - should keep us going for a while.

active sketches

Skateboarding and parkour (free running), ink & pencil crayon on paper;

a is for...kimono girls

active art

Today we had a go at using the card mannequins we made last week to create images of moving/active figures. We simply posed them and drew round them. They've turned out quite well so far.

a is for...witch

Another quick how-to draw. This time a witch.

Start from a letter A;

Add 'hair'

Then a pointy chin

Add a 'y'

Eyes and nose

Mouth

Teeth - the more crooked the better

Add a triangle at the top of the hat

And colour

You can add spots, warts etc. Don't worry if your witch looks at bit strange - witches are not renowned for their beauty!

a is for...bat

A quick how-to draw a simple bat from a letter A;

Add a couple of 'w' shapes

Add a couple of 'M's'

Join them together

Add a small circle for a head

A couple of ears

claws/feet

And colour it in! If anyone ridicules your bat- just tell them you've imagined an as yet undiscovered species that lives in a remote cave deep in the Amazon rainforest!

Happy drawing!

a is for...alligator

Some more doodlz.

A lion having a bad hair day!
