Last term. the Grade 4/5s used fabric paints to design their own bag, drawing inspiration from the painted fabrics of Mirka Mora. They also used fabric scraps to model a bowl.
Grade 6s also drew inspiration from Mirka Mora's painted dolls, as well as Laura Blythman and Pete Cromer's modern fabrics, to design, paint, assemble and stitch their own softies.
Grade 2/3 students explored the Colour Wheel and how to mix Primary Colours to create Secondary Colours. Their giraffes below were all painted with only the three primary colours on their palettes - red, yellow and blue. We also finished off our Koinobori (Japanese fish kites).
F/1 students spent time learning about the Primary Colours and how to mix them to make Secondary Colours. We have spent many lessons experimenting with different mediums and techniques.
At the moment, we are busy working with clay - modelling, sculpting, painting, glossing and decorating. A favourite lesson was modelling Terracotta Warriors out of plasticine. Students also enjoyed experimenting with terracotta clay and practising making slabs, coils and pinch pots.
Stay tuned for photos of our painted and decorated clay creations.....
