This web page celebrates the work we
have done during Art Week 2006.

Our inspiration has been the work of William Shakespeare, which classes studied the week before in Literacy.

Additionally, in assembly we have all heard the stories of:

  • A Mid summer Nights Dream
  • Romeo and Juliet
    and
  • Henry V.

Drama and Writing

Year 1 started their week using Art to inspire drama and writing.

Joanna Clifford our artist helped them to dramatise A Midsummer Nights Dream, before moving on to work with 6M after break and Y2 and 6L on Tuesday.

Shakespear Posters

5W and 5D have been using Photoshop Elements to make posters for Shakespeare plays. The art technician from Waddesdon Secondary school, photographed the children in costumes that they had brought in and artefacts for their posters. He then helped them to create posters using a combination of the images and text which will be printed up for the exhibition.

Ceramics

Meanwhile, 6L were starting a mosaic of Macbeth with Lucy Howell, another artist. Children’s designs of the witches, goblet, clown and daggers were combined to produce a pair of mosaics to go either side of the IT room door. The second was made by 6M the next day and is a scene from the Tempest.

You might have heard the live broadcast from 6L by Mix 96 on Monday morning (27/02/06).

Clay Masks

Sarah Davis worked with us last year on developing ceramics in Y5, and staff training, but this year she has come back and made masks out of clay with Y1 and 6L.

A big thank you to Mark Kelsey who came in to talk to Y4 about his work as a Graphic Designer.
