Art Club is being run on a Tuesday by Miss Farrant and Miss Northcott. This term we are looking at the Olympics and creating our own figures of athletes competing in different Olympic events. The children started off by thinking about the different sports in the Olympics and then practiced getting into static positions whilst their partners drew them. The next stage was for the children to create these positions using wire, this looked easy but turned out to be very difficult as the wire was stiff and hard to manipulate. Once the wire models were complete the children had to use newspaper and masking tape to create the different shapes of the body. The next stage was to cover the figure in mod rock so that it was ready to paint.

The children are all really enjoying creating their models and art club has proved to be very popular this term. Come back soon to see some images of the final Olympic figures and to find out what we will be creating next term.
