Expressive Arts and Design
Performance - We have enjoyed performing in our performance area. We have been playing instruments, dancing and acting out stories.
Sculpture - We have designed and created mini beasts using clay. We started by using playdough to develop our sculpting techniques, using vocabulary such as 'roll' and 'squeeze', then transferred these skills to the clay to make our mini beasts. We tried to keep our clay in one piece by pinching different parts of the clay to make the features of the bug. Our understanding of the differences between 2D and 3D shape helped us to make sculptures that were not flat.






We have been creating lots of wonderful artwork to tell each other 'All About Me', including family portraits and self-portraits using collage skills. We focused on ripping, tearing and sticking different colours to create realistic portraits.



We have explored colour and colour mixing through the use of paint. We have used different types of paint to identify primary colours, mix secondary colours, and then created colourful paintings inspired by the artist Yayoi Kusama.
