Diwali Art Day
On 24th October 2024 we celebrated Diwali in school by having an art afternoon in our classrooms. Each year group learnt about how Sikhs, Hindus and Buddhists celebrate Diwali before creating some lovely artwork. In KS1 the children made Rangoli patterns with rice, Diva lamps with clay and also paper latterns. In KS2 the children made intricate Rangoli pattern designs with pen as well as Mehndi patterns on templates of hands.
World Art Day 2024
On 15th April we celebrated World Art Day! This is a celebration to promote the development, diversity and enjoyment of art around the world. As a school we had an amazing day and were lucky enough to explore a range of different artists as well as discover new techniques and styles of art. The pupils moved around the different classrooms in their year group and each class teacher based their workshop inspired by a different artist. Reception and KS1 spent the morning looking at the artists Henri Matisee, Banksy and Yayoi Kusama. In KS2 they explored the artists Beatriz Milhazes, Joan Miró, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Henri Matisse.
