Art & Design
Art (2016 -17)
We will start the term, studying Victorian silhouettes. The children will draw the profile of their learning partners and create a small silhouette. They will use marbling ink to create a mottled pattern for the background; use a compass to create a frame for their artwork.

We will be looking at the different features of the terraced and villa housing along Bulwer Road, West Avenue, Montague Road and Clarendon Park Road. The children will be sketching chimney stacks, windows, finials, red tile patterns and other decorative features. They will then re-creative one feature using watercolours.
