Banksy inspired street art - Jan 2026

In the autumn term, our Year 6 children studied the street artist Banksy who uses street art to share messages with the world through his art. In the lead up to creating their art, they learnt about the use of complimentary colours, shape and how to create attractive and personal pieces of art to represent themselves. Through this, the children were able to create their own Tags which inspired sooooooooooooooooo many pieces to be created even outside of their art lessons!

Have a look at some of the children's wonderful street art tags.

 

 

Ancient Egyptian inspired ‘Canopic pots’ - Dec 2025

In the autumn term, our Year 4 children studied the history topic of the Ancient Egyptians. Through their learning in their history work, they were inspired to design and create their own sculptures of Canopic pots. These pots had heads of some of the Egyptian gods and were formed with simple moulding and shaping techniques with small clay tools and the pots themselves were created using the coil pot method.

Jackson Pollock inspired art - Oct 2025

In the autumn term, our Year 2 children studied the artist Jackson Pollock who uses paint in an abstract fashion called splatter painting. In the lead up to creating their art, they learnt about primary and secondary colours, as well as shades and tints.
