A colourful week in the Art Department!
Our pupils have been exploring an exciting mix of materials and techniques across the year groups:
🔴Year 3 have been glazing their abstract terracotta stationery holders, adding a second layer of colour before they head into the kiln.
🟣 Year 4 have begun sculpting their own Terracotta Army figures after learning about the Qin Dynasty.
🟠Year 5 have transferred their chosen botanical illustrations onto gessoed wooden panels and started painting with vibrant acrylic inks.
🔵Year 6 are building sculptural maquettes, experimenting with scale and perspective using terracotta clay, wooden bases and architectural figures.
🟡Year 8 have created striking automatic paintings on circular wooden panels using acrylic pouring techniques.
A brilliant range of projects taking shape across the department.
