Maroon & Turquoise Class

Our reception, year 1 and year 2 artists created some very strange self portraits this week! We cut out the features from a photo of ourselves and rearranged them to make strange faces using a variety of bits and pieces. It was a very funny task!

Amber & Magenta Class

Our year 3 and 4 artists also made some very strange looking self portraits by adding a collage background and pen/pencil detail to black and white photos of themselves. We also played a doodling game where we drew faces on the tables!

Jade & Emerald Class

Our year 5 and 6 artists continued with the manipulation of the street scene photos. We added extra signage, lamp posts etc. and also some chose to add in characters from an old comic which worked really well!

Cyan, Indigo & Cerise Class

Our year 7-11 classes also completed their street scenes. We had some interesting results!

Jade & Emerald Class

Our year 5 and 6 artists got to grips with using craft knives. We started with a colour and a black and white version of the same street scene which we laid one over the other, then we chose details to cut out using the knives. We then swapped the cut pieces over when we pasted the images down. Next week we’ll continue to add further details.
