Today was the last session of Artclub before the half term and we wanted to complete as much of the paintings as possible.  During the holidays a start has been made on sewing the smaller paintings together.  There are 24 of them which when combined will make one large painting inspired by the book “A Walk in the Rainforest” by Kristin Joy Pratt. We still have 2 outstanding:-  the “L” painting and the “V” painting, so we will need to design those and also make our 3d animals…so much to keep us busy. Our other large painting inspired by the book “The Great Kapok Tree” by Lynne Cherry has had all the smaller paintings pinned on to the background, ready to be glued down.

Miss Morris and Mrs. Chin would like to welcome all our new children who came to our Artclub after-school club today and started their lovely drawings and paintings.  For the children who have been attending  Artclub since November it is our tenth week of creating our massive paintings for Tropical World in Leeds. As you can see in the pictures they continued painting and applying collage to their Rainforest inspired paintings, producing some really lovely artwork. Next week we will be completing all our paintings, so that they can be put together to make up the finished pieces.  When we return after half-term we will be looking forward to making some 3d models of the animals.

Today was our last session of Artclub before Christmas. 

Year 3/4 started to paint their animals to go on to the backdrop of the Rainforest they started to paint last week.

Year 5/6 continued with their individual paintings, depicting a letter of the alphabet and an object / plant / animal of the Rainforest, which will be put together to make one large painting.

Both of these when completed are to be displayed at Tropical World in Leeds.

This week we continued with our designs for the two paintings for Tropical World in Leeds. Year 5/6 put colour to their pencil drawings and Year 3/4 researched tropical animals to then draw on to the large scale plan of the painting.
