Lichtenstein comes to harrow arts centre!

last term we based our class on the work of Roy Lichtenstein. there is a wonderful exhibition on at the Tate Modern at the moment and we felt it an ideal opportunity for the children to learn about his work. I think they have such an amazing job with their paintings!

this term we are looking at Lowry - who is also exhibiting at the Tate in June.

spring flowers in pastels

at art club the children drew spring flowers in soft pastels . . . (even though it still feels like winter!!)

happy easter . . .

this easter we have been making some chicks. we made some at Craft Club and at a workshop we ran at Little Willows in Pinner. . .  the results speak for themselves I think.

we also did some printmaking

we used foam tiles to make a printing plate, which was inked up using water-based printing inks. it was messy, but fun!

self portraits

last term at craft club, the children painted self portraits and decorated a frame to put it in! they gave these to their parents as a valentines present . . . a simple and effective way to show off their amazing artwork!

MAKE A BOOK half term workshop

we had a wonderful morning of creativity during our MAKE A BOOK workshop this morning! the children made an A4 book, sewing the spine together. we then read a wonderful book called 'First Flight' by Sara Fanelli as our inspiration. the children then made up their own versions of a first flight or their favourite book using collage! we are soooo very pleased with the results . . . the pictures speak for themselves . . .
