Art and Design - Year 4
In Year 4 we have been developing our skill of drawing. We enjoyed making marks while responding to a story about Jeffrey the Maggot. Here is a part of the story - ‘When Jeffrey woke up, he didn’t know where he was! There were large spikes on both sides of hundreds of zigzag branches, some were thick spikes and some were thin spikes. Each branch was covered in spikes.’ We moved around the tables in the classroom to use different mark makers. We used graphite crayons, oil pastels, sketching pencils, charcoal and wax crayons to make our marks.
Art and Design - Year 1
Our first topic in Year 1 is ‘Drawing’. We have explored different mark making tools such as charcoal, pastels and pencils. This week we make our own mark making tools using things from nature. We used twigs, leaves, conkers and their shells. We used masking tape to put our mark making tool together.
