recent stuff

Some recent pieces. The first is in anticipation of 'Le Tour' coming to God's Own County. Some cyclists passing a quaint little country village before tackling a category 1 climb! Acrylics and pencil crayon on paper.

 

 

Doodles from my sketchbook. No prizes for guessing the title of the last one.

The mural on the FS1 wall continues to grow - this is part of the section supposedly showing children at play!

 

In FS2 we've painted, based and rigged our salt dough pirate ships.

In Y1 we painted our clay fish....

....and created underwater seascapes to display them.

In Y2 we began to papier mache the dinosaur heads - ready to take the pneumatic operating system (syringes and plastic tubing!).

seascapes

Today in class we had a go at painting some impressionistic seascapes! After looking at work by Alfred Sisley and Andre Derain, we used short brushstrokes to try and give the impression of a gentle, relatively calm sea. We went on to create choppier seas but I didn't manage to get any pics! The plan is to follow up this up next week by looking at how Van Gogh represented different surfaces, textures and materials by using a variety of brushstrokes.
