An Afternoon of Dots

Date: 29th Mar 2021 @ 4:13pm

Things got a bit dotty onThursday afternoon when the whole school took part in an Art afternoon. Everyone watched the story “The Dot” By Peter H Reynolds and then each class looked at how they could use dots in art.

EYFS used different printing techniques to create their dotty pictures including a collaborative piece.

Year 1 produced collage dots by scrunching pieces of tissue paper to make dots and a not-a- dot.

Year 2 practised a new sculpture technique called quilling. They had to roll up individual pieces of paper and then arranged them on a dot. The results were great!

Year 3 spent the afternoon creating small dots using a variety of techniques and then put all the dots together to create a one piece of art work.

Year 4 and 6 both put their drawing and sketching skills to the test by creating a whole picture based around a dot. They had to think of images they could create using a dot as the focus.

Year 5 explored positive and negative images to make a “not-a-dot”. They showed a lot of patience and skill by carefully printing around the outside of a large dot.

The children showed some great artistic skills and produced some really super art work as you can see from the photos.
