Year 1 – Junk Modelling
In Year 1 the children were able to create a dragon for Chinese New Year out of Junk Modelling.
Year 2 – John Kimpton
Year 2 were looking at the artist John Kimpton and work from Rembrandt. They were able to We experiment with charcoal and chalk techniques for drawing tonal areas to create our own self-portraits. The children have been using a smudging technique to create a shadow effect.
Year 3 – Egyptian Poems
Year 3 have created beautiful Egyptian poems in their cross curricular lesson.
Year 4 – The Last Supper
Year 4 did a lovely Re and Art cross-curricular lesson on the Last Supper. The children were able to look at the photo from the Last Supper and recreate it themselves.

Art Club collaborative project
In 2022 our Art Club worked so hard learning about local artists such as LS. Lowry, Mr. Eggz and Chris Cyprus. We created a series of Stalybridge landscapes inspired by these artists and then chose Chris Cyprus to focus on to create a Stalybridge landscape using acrylic paint on canvases.
