KS1
Children in KS1 began this half term by exploring the formal element of line. They named, drew and invented lines using a range of different drawing implements (pens, pencils, felt tips, charcoal, fabric pens, chalk, oil pastels etc.) on a range of different surfaces (paper, cardboard, concrete, brick, fabric, whiteboards etc.).
We also drew lines whilst listening to music, inventing lines to show how we can all ‘see’ the same piece of music very differently.
EYFS
Children in Reception have been looking at some of Sandra Dieckmann’s nature-themed artwork. They practised drawing curved lines and used these to sketch petals, flowers and leaves using a range of drawing implements, including pencils, pens, oil pastels, chalk and charcoal.

Children in LKS2 spent the morning in church sketching the Saxon font during their history lesson. They used different shading techniques (crosshatching, stippling etc.) and explored how the presence of the font shows the legacy of the Anglo-Saxons around the Broughton area.
