Today we had local artist Laura Hollis visit Y2. She showed us her beautiful ceramics work and taught the children how to make elephants and hedgehogs. We all had a wonderful time and were proud of our creations. @lauraceramics
In DT year 1 have been designing and making mobiles for a baby. They were very pleased with their finished products.
Year 3 created this amazing Gaudi inspired Park Guell this term. Today they looked at different compositions and then took photos and videos of it and evaluated their work on our online learning platform.
Happy #ArtBuilders2023 day! We've all had a very exciting week doing all sorts of creative activities.馃コ #animateartscompany
We had our Brick by Brick Art Builders day today. The whole school worked together to make a Jo Peel inspired town and then we held an exhibition after school. Great Team work Senacre Wood!馃コ #ArtBuilders2023
This week EYFS have been reading The Snail and the Whale. In art, they created their own snails. They had the choice of how they wanted to decorate the shells. We talked about colour mixing as we worked.
Y3/4 Art Club have been making beautiful mandalas this term. They reminded themselves of what a colour wheel looked like, looked at mandalas for inspiration, created their own foam printing boards and printed each quarter separately using silver printing inks.
Y1 worked as a team to create this under the sea collage. They had to paint and print the coloured paper and then created the fish looking at photos to help. A fabulous job year 1!
Today we've been very busy celebrating the King's coronation. Every child in the school made a red, white or blue flower and then we created a display out the front of the school. #KingCharlesCoronation
Mrs Clarkson has been learning lots of ways of creating 3D artwork with cardboard this afternoon. Who fancies joining a Cardboard Creators art club soon?! 馃榿 #jameslakesculpture #animateartscompany
Today Y5 worked collaboratively with artist @robturner to make bird and bat boxes. We used power tools such as drills, electric screwdrivers and a jigsaw!
Mrs Clarkson has been busy observing, drawing, creating, collaborating+planning based on this year's Art Builders theme "Brick by Brick." She can't wait to get Arts Council involved in finalising our whole school project which we'll be running in June. #ArtBuilders23 #artscouncil
EYFS & KS1 Art Club have been making portraits of mice today. Can you spot the footballer mice, Sleeping Beauty mouse and Mrs Clarkson the artist mouse? We think these are absolutely wonderful!
Today Y4 learnt all about how plastic impacts on the wildlife in our oceans. This artwork is made entirely out of rubbish washed up along our creeks and beaches. We've entered this into The Turner Contemporary's Rising competition! @TCMargate
Y2 produced these absolutely brilliant llama drawings this week. They drew the llamas, then cut them out and stuck them on photocopies of their weaving that they did earlier this term. We absolutely love these!
Today Y1 got very arty creating lots of feathers, using the drawing and cutting skills that they've learnt this term. We've discovered that 2D work can become 3D work!
Y3/4 Art Club have been drawing and painting buildings and bridges that were used during the Battle of Maidstone in 1648. These will be entered into a competition, where the selected winning pieces will be made into artwork and displayed in the town. Good luck Y3&4!
Oak Class have been busy creating work based on The Three Little Pigs. This work will be part of a display that they are creating at Shepway Library.
