This term, our talented Year 6 students have been busy exploring the exciting world of Painting and Collage in their art lessons. Drawing inspiration from the iconic works of Pablo Picasso and the vibrant, graphic style of Patrick Caulfield, the children have produced a stunning array of creative masterpieces.

The project began with an introduction to the two artists, whose contrasting approaches provided a rich foundation for exploration. Students were captivated by Picasso's cubist distortions and bold use of perspective, as well as Caulfield's striking use of flat colour and simplified forms. Inspired by these techniques, the class set out on a creative journey to combine these elements into their own unique works of art.

Throughout the term, the children have been honing a variety of artistic skills. They have practised using perspective to add depth to their compositions, experimented with superimposing images to create dynamic and layered effects, and explored texture and contrast to bring their pieces to life. Each lesson has provided an opportunity to develop these techniques further, building both confidence and technical ability.

The results are truly remarkable! From bold and abstract Picasso-style portraits to striking Caulfield-inspired collages, the Year 6 art gallery is a feast for the eyes. The children’s work showcases their creativity, hard work, and growing understanding of artistic principles.

We are incredibly proud of our Year 6 artists and their dedication to this project. Their work will be on display in the school hall next week, so don’t miss the chance to come and see their amazing creations in person!

Our artists have achieved all of this through the St George's Art Curriculum Vision Statement:

Be creative.

Be proficient.

Be reflective.
