Amazing Art
We have seen some fantastic creative art work displayed on the art blogs across the school! It is great to see so many of you enjoying expressing your ideas through art.
The TATE gallery have some excellent resources available on their website that champion and celebrate all young people’s voices and ideas.
Why not try some of the activities below suggested by the TATE gallery…
A colour walk is a walk where you try to look for all the colours of the rainbow. You might think of it like a treasure hunt, where the treasure is colour!
Artist Richard Long made a piece by walking backwards and forwards along the same path over and over again. You can document a walk in a different way. You can try and use colours to notice unusual objects and the colours of things all around us!

Be inspired by the artist Anni Albers, make a loom and weave some art to hang on your wall!
Anni Albers was a German artist born in Berlin in 1899. She was very interested in art from a young age. Albers studied at the Bauhaus. The Bauhaus was an exciting school of art and design in Germany. At the time, women were only allowed to study a few classes. Anni decided to study weaving and became one of the greatest textile artists of our time!
Albers used a loom to weave. A loom is a machine that makes cloth out of wool or other threads. You can make your own loom at home and turn wool into a beautiful mini-rug!
