Art

We started our session today by joining up with a child from a different key stage and sharing our sketchbooks and explaining what we have been learning about and what our favourite piece of work was. Children were able to articulate their learning and their love of art.

We then had a discussion about what has gone well in our art units and what we would like to get better.

• Having more choice and freedom in what we did

EBI

• Having more opportunities to paint
• Getting to work in different styles

We ended the session by having a discussion about our key vocabulary and artists. All year groups could share the name of at least one artist that they have looked at this year. Children were able to share key vocabulary and attempted to explain this. There was a clear progression throughout school on children’s level of vocabulary. Year 5 and 6 were able to name and discuss the formal elements that linked to their units.
