Art in the City - An experience in art

This holiday I am trying something new.

I am going to be taking a group of children on an art adventure. We will visit an art gallery and the natural history museum. The idea is to expose the children to art and let them try use some of the ideas we have been learning in art class to analyse these works.

At the Natural History Museum we will spend time drawing three of the exhibitions.

Outside we can spend time practicing a nature sketch of the Cape Garden .

Taking perspective

At this terms beginning, we started by looking at perspective.This lesson started with the children drawing what they saw in front of them. I had put out blocks onto a table with card. The blocks lay behind, in front and in between each other. 

The children then had to draw what they saw and including shading and shadow. These are their awesome works of art.
