PERFORMING & CREATIVE ARTS<br />

ART AT THE PREP<br />

Year 3 explored the wonders of<br />

Colour learning how to mix and<br />

create their own colours and<br />

shades as well as how to use a range of<br />

different materials. In the Summer Term<br />

we focussed on the work of sculptor<br />

Anthony Gormley, experimenting with<br />

various sculptural techniques and ways<br />

of describing the human form.<br />

Year 4 started the year looking at artists<br />

and inventors whose discoveries changed<br />

the way artists work. Finding out about<br />

the inventor of the pencil, the discovery<br />

of oil paint and the development of<br />

photography. In the Summer Term they<br />

explored the artistic output of the ancient<br />

Egyptians from portraits and sculptures<br />

to patterns, fabrics and jewellery.<br />

Year 5 began explored the world of Pop<br />

Art, playing with colour and creating<br />

repeat prints. Followed by a textiles<br />

project where they made giant pieces of<br />

fast food in fabric.<br />

Year 6 explored many types of print<br />

making culminating in the production<br />

a three coloured lino print of a range of<br />

Fungi. In the Summer Term the focus was<br />

on Islamic Art. Creating and deciphering<br />

complex repeating patterns and making<br />

a traditional glazed tile.<br />

Man and other myths and legends of<br />

the forest. Making ceramic heads of the<br />

green man to hang in a doorway to ward<br />

off evil spirits.<br />

Year 8 explored the architecture of the<br />

local area, producing a mixed media<br />

piece based on the work of artist John<br />

Piper followed by an independent project<br />

on the theme of Concealment.<br />

the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Year 4<br />

joined with local schools in the Rivers of<br />

Hope Parade. Each pupil made a flag<br />

highlighting their environmental concerns,<br />

in the church as part of Tavistock’s<br />

celebrations.<br />
