Year 4 Art

 

1. Autumn: Sculpture

In this Unit the children learnt about life and work of the sculptor Albert Giacometti. They looked at his sculpture work and discussed the formal elements within. They explored the different features of sculpture and learnt how to make a figure using wire and clay.

2. Spring: Painting

In this unit the children learnt about life and work of the landscape artist John Constable. They looked at a range of his paintings and discussed the formal elements found. The children learnt about background, midground and foreground and how perspective plays a role in this. They then looked closely at the sky within his work and created tint and tonal keys based upon this before they finally created their own Constable inspired landscape painting.

 

3. Summer: Drawing
