  Art - Lino Printing

  Posted by Mrs N Lawday

  The last part of Year 6 printing was lino printing which we did in the style of William Morris. The children chose their design inspired by nature. Once they had decided on their design, they used the lino cutting tool to cut away the lino leaving their raised design which they used to print. The results were fantastic! Well done year 6.

  Art Lino printing

  Posted by Mrs N Lawday

  Today, we watched a short film which showed how wallpaper was made using block prints from William Morris. Using this as inspiration, we went outside and in pairs, year 6 designed their own prints linked to nature too like William Morris. Next week, we will be transferring these onto a piece of lino to create a lino print.

  History - The Tudors

  Posted by Mrs N Lawday

  Year 6 researched the life of Henry VIII. They did this through various sources of information that had been put around the room and after reading each piece they decided what it told them about Henry VIII and whether the source was reliable enough. Using sources of evidence to deduce information about the past, we discovered that lots of paintings that were painted of Henry VIII could maybe have been a little unreliable as the artist would have made sure it made Henry look good and they may have been afraid that if Henry didn't like the painting then they could have been executed!

  Art - Screen Printing

  Posted by Mrs N Lawday

  Today, year 6 started a screen print. We learnt that a lot of famous artists have used screen printing like Andy Warhol. We are using the Tudor Rose again so we can compare the print with the mono prints that we did last term. Today, we have put on the mod podge (PVA glue) over the parts we don't want the ink to go through on and have left it to dry, ready for our next lesson.
