The Natural World

This project explored artists that had incorporated their art into the landscape such as Andy Goldsworthy.  Students used natural resources such as pine cones and seeds to create artworks. They pressed shells in air drying clay and made 'flowers wands'.

They also responded to Eric Carle's story of the 'Tiny Seed' and created their own mixed media 'flower'.

Water

Water has been a source of inspiration for many artists and it is a resource that we use in Art. Students designed their own seascapes/waves (Maggi Hambling), swimming pools (Hockney), lily pads (Monet) and reflections (Van Gogh); developing their skills such as using scissors, painting and mixing colours and using their imagination!
