The Big Draw
Hawthorn - Year 4 - Lesson 1 - mark-making for jellyfish using 6b, 2b, graphite stick, biro and felt pen on long A2 scale. We tried to capture texture and movement.
Hawthorn - Lesson 4 - exploring Henry Moore's wax resist technique in our sketchbooks. We used candles and tealights to add texture and atmosphere to our drawings just like Henry Moore. We included images of Barbara Hepworth's work also.
Hawthorn - Lesson 3- group drawings combining Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore in 6b, graphite sticks, charcoal and chalk, biro and felt pen. Monumental drawings and mark-making for 2 monumental British sculptors.
Hawthorn Class - Lesson 2 - comparing Henry Moore with Barbara Hepworth
Year 2 - Using 2b & 6b pencils and our observational drawing skills to create whole class pieces of art!
3 pupils from Hawthorn have been inspired to sketch more Henry Moore forms at home
LESSON 1 - HENRY MOORE'S SKETCHBOOKS inspired Hawthorn class to fill a page with drawings of Henry's monumental sculptures. We used biro, 2b, 6b - just like the artist.
Ash Class have been drawing AUTUMN TREES and smudging with charcoal and chalk. Then they printed trees from Savoy cabbages and printed hedgehogs with sponges and the edges of lolly sticks.
In Elm class, we are drawing still life pictures of flowers. We have learned that we can only draw what we can see, we have learned to "tickle" the paper and to use smudging to make our pictures look more 3D.
In Elder, we worked as a team to explore the work of Quentin Blake. We learned about his imperfect, rugged lines and his creative characters. After practicing in our sketch books, we enjoyed group drawing then celebrated each other’s work by perusing our gallery leaving feedback for our friends. We then used watercolours to add to our drawings, focusing on using different shades of colours by mixing our palette.
HAWTHORN YEAR 4 HARVEST STILL LIFE
We looked at some Impressionist painters and their Still Life drawings of fruit and vegetables.
Here are our observational chalk pastel drawings with chalk and charocal. Pictured are ongoing work and then final pieces. We were drawing for a sustained period of time - an hour.
Elder Class Year 4 - We love using chalk pastels to blend tints and shades of colours
THE BIG DRAW in Hawthorn Class
In Guided Reading sessions our book, 'Mary Anning - the Girl Who Cracked Open the World', has inspired us to create a group drawing based on Fossils. Like Mary, we have made lots of drawings from some real fossils or photographs. Rick was inspired to try Mary's Ichthyosaur. We used 6B, 2B, biro, graphite sticks and lots of charcoal and white chalk.
Elmer the elephant in EYFS
In Year 3 we used a large roll of paper and a 6B pencil to draw our own cave paintings based around the book ‘The First Drawing’. We then added a splash of colour using chalks.
The Big Draw
In Year 5, we had a fun afternoon developing our drawing and sketching skills of flowers. Instead of working in our sketchbooks, we worked as a group on a long roll of paper which stretched across our table. It was quite tricky to draw the flowers from still life!
In Y4 we practised our sketching skills by copying a picture of a giraffe!
In year 3, we used our new sketch books to draw the Eiffel Tower.
We used rubbers to create negative shapes and patterns against different degrees of shaded backgrounds
In Y4 we used oil pastels to draw self portraits
In Elder we investigated using different grades of pencils and graphite sticks to explore shade. We then used these skills to create a detailed picture of St Peters Church.
In Year 5 we explored drawing eyes and noses. We used different grades of pencils and charcoal to see which we preferred. Our first attempts were from memory, then we looked at photographs and then we also learned some techniques from artists modelling how they drew them. Look at the progress we made from our first attempts......
Keith Haring, the boy who couldn't stop drawing - Year 4
In Year 6, we developed our drawing skills by using pencil to develop our skills in drawing shapes and lines. We looked at our eyes, nose and mouth before drawing our self portraits. We used pastel to add colour to our portraits. To develop our skills further we used technology to create self portraits using a digital programme. Our portraits are now digital from simply using a drawing tool. Wow, Year 6!
CAVE ART Year 3/4
Following our first sketches in our sketchbooks, we now worked on a group cave drawing. We incorporated animals, hunts and hands which we've found in cave paintings from 30,000 years ago.
