In Art  and Design we are learning to explore tone and proportion in observational drawing.

We have learning about inventions through the ages – look for a modern day object in your house and do a detailed pencil drawing looking carefully at shape and proportion. Use your pencil with different amounts of pressure to add tone. 

Try a different item from last week – a bicycle, a kettle, a microwave, a toaster, a mobile phone, a laptop….check with an adult before drawing these! Perhaps you could draw a waterproof jacket – a modern version of the ‘Mackintosh’!

Please share your work on Twitter! We’d love to see it!

In Art  and Design we are learning to create  still life images.
We have been looking at the work of Samuel Peploe – you could google this to see more of his work.

Set up your own still life scene using fruit or vegetables ( tins or bottles would also do ). You could place the objects on a tea towel or piece of fabric. Draw what you see. *Top tip – draw the fruit first, then place the bowl or plate around the fruit.

Think about how you could add colour – pencil, felt pen, paint, chalk, collage? ( Old magazines are great for finding colours and patterns ).

Why not share your completed work on Twitter? It would be lovely to see what you have created!

In Art and Design we are learning to use colour and shape effectively.

To link in with your learning about different climates, create a picture using the ideas in the one below.

1. Draw an animal from your chosen climatic zone – polar, cold, temperate, dry, tropical – it does not have to be in the middle of the page – think about composition!
2. Fill the background with gentle wavy lines to suggest water, ground, hills, skies…..
3. Fill the background with hot or cold colours to match your zone – use any media you have available – pens, coloured pencils, pastels, paints….or a mixture!
4. You can colour your animal too!
5. Why not share your image on Twitter? We’d love to see it!

I have uploaded the number activity sheet that I refer to in the weekly plan. You should also have a paper copy in your home learning bags. The children will know what maths group they are in. Choose a couple of activities to try each day.
