This week, Yeseo completed The Very Hungry Caterpillar storyboard art project. She illustrated the caterpillar’s journey from an egg to a butterfly, focusing on story sequencing. Using drawings and various materials, she brought each scene to life. Yeseo put great effort into shaping and colouring foil to create beautiful, shiny butterfly wings. She did an amazing job, and her finished storyboards look fantastic. Her work will be proudly displayed in our art show!

The art room was filled with laughter as the children discovered the unexpected and unique lines in their drawings. They truly enjoyed the process, embracing the imperfections and creative surprises along the … Y3-4 Art Class Update T2-W10

This week in our art lesson, we explored how we communicate and express emotions through art. We started by discussing different ways people used to communicate in the past, such as letters and telegrams, and compared them to how we communicate today using mobile phones, social media, and emojis. To bring this concept to life, students created their own emoji faces to represent different feelings like happiness, sadness, excitement, and surprise. They thought about how colours, shapes, and facial expressions can help show emotions and shared their emoji creations with their classmates. Through this activity, students learned how art can … Y1-2 Art Class Update T2-W9
The Y3-4 students closely observed Egon Schiele’s self-portraits and explored his bold and expressive lines. They practiced sketching in a way that captured the distinct characteristics of Schiele’s work, focusing on strong, deliberate strokes and expressive colour application. Each student showcased their unique perspective and artistic style, producing incredibly distinctive and impressive drawings. Additionally, we introduced contour drawing. The students learned what contour drawing is and applied the technique by sketching various objects and figures using continuous, flowing lines. It was a fantastic exercise in observation and hand-eye coordination.
This week in our art lesson, we explored the theme “Under the Sea” using a fun and creative tape collage technique. The students had an exciting time designing their own sea animals while learning new artistic skills. We started by sketching large sea creatures on paper. Students who needed guidance used prepared templates to help with their drawings. Then, we moved on to the decorating phase, where we cut and layered coloured tape to bring our sea animals to life. The students experimented with different patterns, shapes, and colour combinations, making each artwork unique and vibrant. Through this activity, the … Y5-6 Art Class Update T2-W9

Their enthusiasm and creativity shone through as they found unique ways to represent movement within … Y7-9 Art Class Update T2-W9
