Please 'Tweet' this link to all your friends (get it!)...

Here are the parents and grandparents, brothers and sisters coming to take a look at the finished works on the last night of the project! Some had to dash back to the car to reach for phones and cameras as they couldn't believe how wonderful the artworks were...Thanks everyone for the lovely feedback! 

Mrs Pyatt (our Headteacher) got in on the action by doing a proud tour of all the artwork. She is trying to steal some works now for her office wall! 

These artworks are so amazing we had to find an outlet to show them (and soon)...We approached the fabulous Brooks Deli www.brooksofmirfield.co.uk/ in Mirfield and the owners have kindly let us have a special show in their premesis. The special preview is Wednesday the 19th of March between 5.30-6.30pm.

We can't wait!http://www.brooksofmirfield.co.uk/

A Fabulous Journey in 

Mark Making...

Year 6 have been working hard at their mark making during the Spring Term. They have created a set of awesome small canvases, created with a myriad of marks using non standard mark makers. Cocktail sticks, cotton wool buds, lollipop sticks and many more small instruments were used to form their imagery. Taking initial inspiration from the Nigerian artist Prince Twins Seven Seven they have now begun to work on large scale drawings with imagined pattern. Much joy was had today when we undertook some exploratory mark making to African Music...
