Curriculum Impact Tag: Art & Design

During this term we have been looking at the work of Freidensreich Hundertwasser. 

Using his paintings as our inspiration we designed and painted our own versions of his work.

Today, we completed our unit on drawing by adding some finishing touches to our self portraits inspired by the legendary Frida Kahlo.

The children listened to six contrasting pieces of music. Using paints, pastels, crayons and pencils the children made marks to represent the music.

As part of our RSHE work, the children have been looking at self - portraits and what makes us special and unique. The children then used loose parts to create a self portraits! 

Year 1- Cross-hatching 

We have been learning about cross-hatching in art today. We used charcoal, pencils and pens to make the marks and smudged some of the marks with our fingers. 

We have been learning about subtractive drawing. This is an art technique that involves covering a surface with charcoal or graphite and then erasing parts of it to create an image.

The children focused on creating a setting or landscape in the style of Frank Auerbach.
