Goodbye Art Club 2023/24!

Thank you so much to all the Art Clubbers from this year, you’ve all been brilliant! You’ve experimented with spray paints, graffiti, collage, pastels, wax, graphite and watercolours.  You’ve looked at different artists, such as Yayoi Kusama, Erwin Wurm and Alberto Giacometti.  You’ve made zentangles, origami (😵‍💫😵), salt dough, sculptures - all to name just a few.

You’ve also been working on some art to enter into competitions - earlier in the year you designed book tokens for a World Book day competition and this term you researched endangered species to make art for the Sketch for Survival competition.  As we’re a dynamic bunch and our plans for the last couple of weeks of Art Club needed to be flexible, not all of us were able to complete our competition entries.  Before giving out everybody’s Art Club books yesterday, any fully complete pictures (including those where the creatures/plants had been finished, but not yet attached to the background) were kept to one side and have been submitted to the competition.  For those of you whose backgrounds are still in their Art Club Books, although your hard work hasn’t quite made it into the competition, you could complete it at home and share it with Explorers Against Extinction using the Twitter handle @realafrica or their Instagram account @explorersagainstextinction.

Completed entries will appear in the relevant year group pages (below) shortly.

We look forward to meeting our new members in September - don’t forget to sign up through ParentPay!

Below, you will find separate pages for each Art Club - Reception, Years 1 and 2, Years 3 and 4, Years 5 and 6.  Although we have been working on similar projects in each year group, all of our members are free to exercise their artistic muscles in any way they choose with the materials available.  Everyone has been using an art book to sketch, practice or doodle in which also has space to store any works of art in progress.  Across Art Club have also been periodically working on pieces which, as mentioned above, have been entered into an art competition called Sketch for Survival - details here. 

Enjoy!
