  • Art and D&T in Year 1

    Published 11/07/22, by Andy Mari

    What a busy week we have had in year 1 celebrating Art and DT.

    We have explored and recreated the artwork of Takashi Murakami and spent a long time using our sketch books to draw flowers in his distinctive style. We used different mediums to create colour and texture. We then used clay, to create a tile and etched a Murakami flower into it.

    Masterchef day was also a hit, making fruit smoothies by learning how to chop using the bridge method. We had so much learning about how fruits and vegetables grow and even got to wear professional chef hats.

  • Art in Year 1

    Published 26/06/22, by Andy Mari

    In Year 1 we have been learning about sculpture in our Art lessons. Recently we had to design our own creature, thinking about where it lived, how it travelled and what it ate. We sketched some ideas of  how we wanted it to look, and this week we used some junk modelling materials to create a 3D version of it.

    Our teachers were blown away by how amazing they were. What a creative bunch! At Roebuck we are Artists.
