Year 3 Art

1. Autumn: Painting 

In this unit the children learnt all about the life and work of the artist Pablo Picasso and what he drew his inspiration from. They looked closely at the formal elements in his work and learnt all about Cubism. Building on their work from year 2, the children then learnt how to use secondary colours to mix tertiary colours. The children discussed how colours are used to express emotions before they finally created their own Picasso inspired face painting.

2. Spring: Drawing

In this unit the children learnt all about the Artist Georgia O’Keefe and looked at a range of her work. Throughout this unit they built on their previous skills and looked at the different grades of pencils and the effect they create. They learnt all about tone and tonal shading before they created a final piece of work.

3. Summer: Sculpture
