This week in
Art club we have continued to develop our designs for the two large paintings
for Tropical World in Leeds.
We completed
our individual designs for the painting inspired by the book “The Great Kapok
Tree” by Lynne Cherry. In these, each of
the children thought about all the animals in the story and how they could
place them in the painting, whilst including the sleeping man and of course,
the kapok tree.
We then used
large pieces of paper to construct the tree on a background cut to the actual
size of the painting 135cm x 210cm to see how big it needs to be and where it
looks best. The children then drew the animals and the sleeping man on to the
background to understand the scale of the painting and to look at the composition.
The Year 5/6
children continued designing their paintings based on the book “A Walk in the
Rainforest” by Kristin Joy Pratt. First
they are producing line drawings, making sure they fill the paper with detail
and later they will introduce colour.
