Dreams and Aspirations
Whole School Project
2023-2024
Class art work based on our School Values of Love, Communication, Learning, Individuality and Happiness.
Year 3/4
Printing
In art this term we have been looking at the artist Cassie Stephens' printing work for inspiration and then made our own monoprint townscape prints using our sketches of Totnes buildings.
Year 3/4
Clay
In year 3/4 we have designed canopic jars, using our historical knowledge of Ancient Egyptian Gods and Goddesses. First, we experimented in using the score, slip and blend technique to join clay, creating a raised embossed symbol.
Then we chose the deity we were basing our work on and then used a colour wheel to choose symbolic colours which would add power and embellishments to our designs. We also sketched Egyptian backgrounds and used watercolours to bring these to life.
Year 1/2 Pinch pots
Year 1/2 have been looking at famous potter and ceramic artist Lucie Rie, who created wonderful ceramic art pieces in the forms of pots, vases, dishes and small works such as beads and brooches. She was inspired by natural forms and textures and striking colour combinations and was first inspired to create her wares when she first came across a pottery wheel. The children have designed their pots using natural textures and embellishments and striking colours to finish.
