This week has been Arts Week and Health and Well-being Week. For Arts Week we looked at two artists who used circles in their work-Kandinsky and Hundertwasser. We were then inspired to create our own art using different mediums.
For Health and Well-being Week the children have taken part in a range of activities including yoga, mindful colouring, meditation, dancing and learning about Our LIves. We looked at the routines and patterns of a typical day, why hygiene is important and how all families are different.

Year 1 have enjoyed a fun-filled week, learning a variety of different art skills and techniques.
We used the work of Beatriz Milhazes as a stimulus, using circle shapes to create an abstract composition in pairs.
Then we explored different kinds of lines - wavy, vertical, horizontal and cross hatch. Using the work of Bridget Riley, we created our own line composition on black card using chalks - piecing them together as a class composition.
In our next lesson we used our line drawing skills to create a collaborative piece of art with an underwater theme, inspired by the work of David Hockney and Vija Celmins. We experimented with a variety of materials - chalks, oil pastel, cryaons, coloured pencils and felt tip pens.
At the end of the week, we did a colour mixing investigation - making primary and secondary colours using play dough and paint. Using our knowledge of colour, we then created some art work based on a study of the artist Jasper Johns.
We have some very talented artists in our Year 1 class and have been impressed at how well they have all worked together to make their compositions!

ARTS WEEK
This week has been Health and Well-being week and Arts week. In Art, we have been practicing Art and Design skills. We have created an optical illusion inspired by the ‘lenticular prints’ of Luz Perez Ojeda. The children have also designed their own willow pattern style plates based on a tale of their choice, first drawing three key characters, then going over the details with ink, before finally using a wash in lighter tones of blue.
In music, last term we learned the song 'Blackbird' by The Beatles. We found the 'pulse' of the song and then sang it.
