Heathrow Primary School
Spring:
In the Spring term, as artists children had the opportunity to design and create their own Greek vases. Linked with our history topic, children used their knowledge of traditional Greek vases to design their own. They were challenged to tell a story with the design chosen to be painted on their vase. With the clay children enjoyed shaping and using different techniques to complete their vases.
Autumn:
In Art this term, Year 5 has focused on the skill of sketching. Children have learnt how to add depth and shading to a picture by varying the pressure placed on the pencil. Children have created excellent pictures focusing on British landscapes. We have also looked at the style of pop art and linked this with our black history figure, Nelson Mandela. Children were able to create amazing pop art pieces highlight the main characteristic which are bright and bold colours.
