EYFS Art
Nursery
In Expressive Arts and Design the children looked at the artists George Seurat for painting, Claude Monat for drawing and Gustav Klimt for Collage. The children learnt how to mark make intentionally and sometimes gave a meaning to what they had created. They discussed what they could do with different materials and explored colour-mixing. Looking at different artwork they thought about how drawings and painting show different emotions like happiness, sadness and fear.
Reception
In Expressive Arts and Design the children looked at the artists Jackson Pollock for painting, Henri Matisse for Drawing and Michelle Reader for Sculpture. The children built on their previous skills of mark making and refined their ideas and learnt how to develop how they represent these. They learnt how to work collaboratively, understanding how to share their ideas and the resources with others. Thinking about the art they produced or viewed they looked at how these expressed their ideas and feelings.
