Olympic Art
We just had to include the terrific art our Year 5 kids did on Thursday, 20 July, when an organisation called "Raw Art" came to the school for a special art lesson whose theme was "The Olympics".

The children were first shown how to draw a face with the correct dimensions and position of the nose, mouth etc.

Then they were put in groups around large pieces of cardboard.

The cardboard was then painted brightly.

Each group had to portray an athlete and their sport and use what they learnt about drawing faces in their pictures.

This boxer looked very fierce, black eye and all. The children used crayons and rubbed them in to achieve a great skin tone.

This runner had a long road ahead.

This beach volley ball player looks very much like another well known sportsman. Can you guess who?

  Another colourful character!!

Our runner now has some hair and ears and looks a bit more human!! The colour was built up, layer on layer of crayon on top of a chalk base, to give the great finish.

Next the background was painted to make it more colourful.

Here's the famous look-a-like, nearly all finished.

After the background was painted, the title was painted on the bottom - Olympics 2000!!
