Can you share some new things that you have learnt from your art project this term?

How to draw mammoths and cave paintings with different materials. Some of our favourite artists were Warhol, Fortin and Rowland. We have learnt to paint with string, toothbrushes and toothpicks. We also learnt to paint using the 'splatter' and 'drip' method. When you're sketching don't press on hard. We looked at Frida Khalo's paintings. We looked at our faces in a mirror. We have learnt to do the running stitch on felt fabric. We have learnt how to use polystyrene to make a print of our portrait. We have learnt how to build up different colours.

Do you have any feedback regarding your progress in your recent art project?

We like it, it's fun and if I keep practising my skills I get better. We are enjoying using our sketchbooks and treating them as a 'work in progress' rather than a finished piece. We enjoyed working with charcoal and the abstract work reflecting moods. I enjoyed collage. I like sticking things to make a picture. I loved every single bit. I liked when we had to look in the mirror and do our face. Sketch books are a hit! When Miss Mace taught the first printing lesson in the art room. I enjoyed printing on my own in my sketch book. I enjoyed making the different patterns. Putting 2 different colours together to mix the colours when printing.

Can you share any ways to improve your art lessons?

We liked working outside and using lots of materials. Sketchbooks could have more pages and possibly, be a little bigger. Continue to explore more to painting techniques. Copy some famous pictures. We would like to draw what we like/are interested in. Do art more often. Have a go at different things. Listen to teachers. Learning about the artists and recreating some of their work.
