Sand Paintings & Young Photographer Of The Year!

This week 4T experimented with coloured sand to create some paintings in the style of native people in 

America. Everyone enjoyed creating the images and their was also a photography competition too. Ms Van Anh, Mr Mike and Jeanette all took photos and the whole class chose the photos below to go on the blog. Of the photos below Mr Mike shot two, Ms Van Anh shot three and Jeanette shot the rest. I guess that makes her 4T's young photographer of the year!

Margaret Mee Artists

Year 4 spent time yesterday discussing the work of explorer and artist Margaret Mee. She is famous for her love of plants and flowers and her very detailed drawings. We started our art work by making careful observations of different parts of plants and then attempting to sketch them.

 4T all enjoyed learning how to mix colours carefully to make a gradient. Well done Gia Vinh you was great!

Everybody Is A Learner - Even Me

So it's a new year and that means reflecting on last year and thinking about how you might improve this year. Well, after careful thought, I have decided that I would like to be better at Art. Luckily for me TX has the amazing Mr Pat this term and it has turned out to be the perfect opportunity for 4T and myself to improve our Art skills together.

Mr Pat has started teaching self portraits in both the Year 4 Classes. We first had to draw a self portrait without any help and then begin again but under the careful watch of Mr Pat. We have not finished yet but I think you can tell from my two pictures that the second me on the right is definitely better than my first portrait on the left. All that is missing is hair and ears. Both of which I eagerly look forward to learning how to draw next week. Thanks, for the excellent help Mr Pat!
