On Thursday 24th April, Southfield School celebrated World Art Day. We took part in a range of activities that linked to our new and exciting Summer Art curriculum.

Phase 1, explored their new topic of 'Muck, Mess and Mixture' in a gross motor Art exploration activity. We went outside and explored creating a range of mixing, patterns and lines on big sheets of paper, using scooters, bikes, big rollers and giant stamps.

Phase 2 , explored Art through Music. Our Music Lead, Rebecca, played songs on the piano from London based artists linking to the topic of 'London. Children explored drawing, sculpting or painting along to music, exploring rhythm, tempo genres and style.

Phase 3 's topic is 'Around Britain', On the 6th May, Jays and Blackbirds will have a visit from an illustrator from the Quentin Blake illustrator centre in London. This will be an opportunity for children to meet an illustrator, find out about their work and career path, and try some of their favourite techniques. At the end of the session, children will collaborate to curate a mini table top exhibition of their work.
