Y3 thought carefully about what a fossil of the future might look like? What are we leaving behind that will be discovered in millions of years? What could we imprint into clay to look like a future fossil? Why did the design change, when we began to create? #primaryart

A spontaneous lesson in Y6 today. Tonal work inspired by the work of Peter Randall-Page. Beautiful natural forms and an unexpected portrait.

Do you use books to support teaching and learning in your art lessons? Over the summer we’ll post some of the new books we’ve purchased to support our art curriculum. This book is great to introduce children to a range of female artists. @GomersalReading @NSEAD1 #GPSArtLibrary

We are not just painting pictures, developing sculpting, designing & drawing skills... we allow our students to think like independent artists. We are building and delivering a curriculum to empower and nurture curiosity & creativity.

Year 5 are ploughing through their space project, learning many different skills and techniques along the way. We enjoyed using the Drawable resource from @accessart where artist, Stephanie Cubbin showed us how to create planet paintings using ink and salt. What’s next?

Huge shout out to this young chap... who is only 5 years old. What an artist! I think King Charles would be super impressed if he saw this portrait. Can’t wait to see how this talent develops over the next 5 years. @RoyalFamily @KensingtonRoyal @chrismouldink @RobBiddulph @NSEAD1

Year 2 have created these mono prints of Mary Seacole and Florence Nightingale using ink, acetate, biros and rollers. They created an interesting, colourful background by tearing poster paper and glueing it to a piece of cartridge paper. @Artsmarkaward @IVEBridge @theartcriminal

Zentangles are a great way of doodling away your worries. These were created as part of a mindful session with our Y6 children, last year. Draw a beetle outline and fill with zentangle doodles. Add challenge and try to make it symmetrical. @accessart @NSEAD1 @Artsmarkaward

Our after school art club have made their own tiny books, inspired by Charlotte Bronte. We learnt about the family and what a pseudonym is, before constructing the tiny books. What would you use a tiny book for? @BronteParsonage @theartcriminal

Y4 have developed their painting skills and paintbrush techniques, today. Can you dilute watercolour paint to create areas of light and dark? Can you use a paintbrush to create thick and thin lines? Inspired by @screeninsight . We will use @accessart paint a corner shop,next week.

Happy 83rd Birthday to David Hockney. Can you paint/draw a local scene using his style? If you were to design a birthday card to send to him, what would it look like? His current work is created using an iPad... can you create some digital art today? @The_Big_Draw @NSEAD1
