For the last 6 years I have ran a 2 day Art project with the Year 6 leavers. This is a lovely way for the class to do something special and leave their mark on the school. In previous years we have done a huge canvas, this year the challenge was to redesign the house flags. The theme being ‘ Greek gods ‘ !! I wanted to design something that allowed them to all participate, and use lots of different techniques.

We started off looking at repeat patterns, they all designed a pattern to surround the flag and worked within their houses to decide how the sequence of this pattern would sit on the flag.

We then tie dyed our background material, this was very experimental. A very subtle effect appeared on the flag once dried.

The children always sign their names somewhere on the finished piece, this year we sewed them and used colourful fabric pens to add individual designs.

The images of Poseidon, Hermes, Demeter and Athena were stencilled on to the fabric with a few final touches added they started to really come together.

The children were so proud of their work and the teachers really impressed. The house captains were proudly waving the new flags at sports day. We were up against it working under a tree in 35 degrees so the kids did amazingly well. A really lovely project that the school will use for years to come…well done Year 6!!

This morning I ran an Art Birthday party for 13 lovely children. The birthday girl and her friend’s listened and followed instructions very well . Each and every one of them left with a fully finished piece of work in just under 1 hour. With some very good feedback from parents and the children super proud of their work, I think this event was a great success!

These fab designs were created with a folded up kitchen paper towel. individual designs were drawn on with marker pens, the paper then soaked in water so the colours run, once dried these opened up to cool symmetrical patterns.

Love how these lemons 🍋 turned out today. We wove our background and made a frame. The lemons were painted in acrylic and finished off with bright green leaves. Super job, so effective!

We experimented with air dry clay and the effect was very cool. So much fun using a different medium. We drew our octopus shape on a board and moulded the clay making tentacles. We finished it off with a painted background and lots of bubbles

These acrylic marker pens are very good at adding detail and easy to use. You can layer and get a vibrant colour. These caravan mountainous landscapes are really lovely.
