Art workshop

On the 15th of February we had an art workshop at school. Jane Lloyd who is an artist working for Graham Braddock Art Workshops took our class and two other classes in the syndicate for a lesson on how to do pencil portraits. We looked at how to position features on a face and how to observe a photo carefully to gain accuracy in our drawing of a face. Jane taught the skills of shading and how to draw each feature of a face. Most students were very pleased with their drawings and there was a good likeness to the Phoenix player Mark Paston. We have developed our skills further by sketching our own faces using large black and white photocopies of photos of ourselves. Click on view all images below to see some photos of this work.

Picasso Style Portraits

Term One 2011

Welcome to the new students in Room 11. Welcome back to the year sixes. There is a class newsletter with lots of information about what is happening at the start of this year on the right hand side of this blog under newsletters. Check out the homework for week two and the oral language presentation which is also on the right hand side of the blog. Start preparing for your oral language presentation - these will be presented in week 5 and 6 of this term. You will be given your date to present your talent/oral language on your homework sheet. Look through the blog. The spelling and math websites are useful and also look through the older posts
to see some of the sorts of activities you could be doing in Room 11. In the first week we will be doing Picasso portraits. These are lots of fun to draw.
