The Years 1 – 6 Annual Art Exhibition was a lovely celebration of the children’s creativity. It was amazing to see so many visitors enjoying the displays and spending time talking with the children about the work. Regarding the work itself, there were so many highlights that it is difficult to know where to start!
The Year 1s had particularly interesting collections of models and sculptures this year. There was quite an outdoor theme including model playgrounds and some colourful garden sculptures. Lily’s Van Gogh portrait was especially impressive too. Year 2 also had some sculptures on an outdoor theme – this time a city – but an abstract one in bright colours inspired by the paintings of Fernand Leger. Year 5’s sculptures were inspired by another artist, Henri Rousseau and were a 3D interpretation of the artist’s jungle paintings. Year 4 had created some very eye catching chairs on a theme of their choice and this created a focal point in the bay window to the back of the exhibition. The detail in the Year 3’s Aborigine dot painting held everyone’s attention as they admired the intricate patterns and shapes. A real highlight was the collection of Year 6 jewellery boxes which were beautifully decorated with fur fabric, jewels and gems. Altogether it was an impressive display and I would like to thank all of our pupils for their determined approach and endless enthusiasm.
