 Autumn 1 - Year 3 Creativity
 

We have been getting creative in Year 3 this half term! In art, we have explored the work of Laura McKendry who uses charcoal to make large gestural drawings of dogs. We explored using the charcoal to create lines, shape and tone and thought about how charcoal can be used to represent light and dark. Inspired by historic images of cave art, we then used the techniques we had practiced to explore gestural cave paintings. We all had a fantastic time!

“I loved learning how to smudge to charcoal and draw pictures of animals in our Stone Age cave paintings, I also loved making our classroom into a cave!” – Beau

“I really liked when we were in the hall and did giant cave paintings using lots of different charcoal on a big sheet of paper that we stuck to the floor. I had lots of fun.” – Fred H
