Our Heritage by Year 1 from Gainsborough

In Year 1 we have been researching our family history and the countries of our roots. We photographed portraits of each other and overlaid these on top of maps to show the part of the world our parents have connections with. We learnt that our classes are filled with children from all over the world. This work celebrates our global identity.

Eyes Observational Drawing by Year 6 

Year 6 have been exploring ways to draw with skill using a variety of materials. We discussed how eyes can show emotion and are a huge part of our identity. Drawing from observation, we persevered with our drawings taking time to build up tone, light and shade. As artists, we explored how using different materials can give us a variation of styles.

Digital Self Portraits in the style of Julian Opie  by Year 1-6

As a whole school we created digital self-portraits inspired by artist Julian Opie. Opie paints portraits in a minimalist style with bold black outlines and bright colours. On the computer we carefully drew over our photograph to simplify the facial features. We then skilfully used vibrant colours to fill the background in Opie’s signature style. In this work, we celebrate our similarities, but also the ways we are all unique.
