ART CLUB WEEK COMMENCING 11TH NOVEMBER 2024

The beautiful Azaleas growing by the village shop were Mrs Hall's inspiration for this week's art lessons, and she couldn't resist buying a bunch. 

Both schools had great lessons, drawing and painting vases of flowers.  The children looked at various still lives of flowers by different artists to show different styles and ways of drawing flowers.  Some were very detailed from the 16th Century and others with very little detail from the 20th Century.  The Juniors discussed the composition of the vase of flowers and how to look at the dimensions – the vase was as tall as the flowers – and also how the leaves and petals overlapped.  Mrs Hall demonstrated drawing a vase with a rounded bottom and then plotting out the flower centres first, then adding petals, followed by the stems and leaves.  

There were some really fantastic drawings, filling the page with flowers.  They then painted using bright colours.    Adding light and shade to make the vase appear 3D was discussed and creating a pale colour for the background using a lot of white.

JUNIOR SCHOOL FENCING CLUB 13TH NOVEMBER 2024

Junior pupils got their morning off to a great start in Fencing Club today, waking up their minds and bodies ready to face the school day.

   

ART CLUB WEEK COMMENCING 4TH NOVEMBER 2024

The Infant School Art Club started with a simple drawing of a dog's face!  They folded the paper in half and then the children followed instructions to draw half of the dog's face in black oil pastel on one side of the paper.   Then they folded the paper back together and rubbed the drawing onto the other side of the paper with their palms!   The children opened their paper to reveal faint lines which they traced over to finish their drawings.   They then added eyes, noses,  spots and dashes, eyebrows and eyelashes as well as hats.  The hats were then painted with watercolour and the children all cut out their own dogs.  Brilliant!

The Junior School Art club started with some fun facts about Picasso, artists that influenced him – Marc Chagall and Cezanne, talked about art movements and Cubism and then looked at examples of his portraits.  Pupils were shown how to draw a portrait combining a profile and a full face, and then they tackled their own Picasso-style portraits!  They drew with pencil, then painted using bright colours and outlined everything in black with some crazy colourful results!

The children were not fazed at all about drawing a Picasso-style portrait and their enthusiasm and ability was most impressive.
