PROJECT 1

​

For the first half term, we will be looking at the cinematic art that appears in anime - in particular the 1988 Japanese animated fantasy film Totoro - written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki and animated by Studio Ghibli for Tokuma Shoten. In this project we will be creating poster  style art  - concentrating on illustrative styles.

PROJECT 2

​

Summer swimming Pools - The most celebrated David Hockney paintings are his swimming pools, known for their vibrant colours and dynamic forms, explore the challenge of capturing water's fluidity and light. In this project we will be using a mixed media to create a piece of art on wood.

​

 

Our ART classes are artist-led weekly one-hour sessions following the School calendar, during which we will  study various art and creative techniques where children can experiment with mark-making, texture & colour- gaining a good understanding of application using a variety of materials- from acrylic paints/watercolour /collage/ chalks/ inks etc.

​

 

Our projects are usually 4 - 6wks long, where we study the work of a famous artist as our inspiration for our art piece such as a painting on canvas, pastel study.
