Exhibition of Art from East Wickham at The Berwick Rd Gallery

There was a fantastic turn-out of children, parents and staff to the opening of the East Wickham year 1 and year 5 exhibition on Wednesday. Everyone was greatly impressed by all the amazing work the children had produced - it looked fabulous!

Year 1 charcoal bears

Year 5 texture and print 'Iron Woman' collages

Year 1 fabric and print collages

Year 5 cardboard buildings

Year 1 magical birds

Year 5 cardboard sculptures

All year 1 and year 5 classes visited the gallery during school time to take part in some activities:

Year 1 were inspired by Henri Matisse's cut-outs and Patrick Heron's paintings. They made their own cut-outs and added them to the display in the gallery.  

The most colourful pile of rubbish!

A collaborative cut-out from year 1

Year 5 were looking closely at the artwork in the gallery and learning about making connections and curating a space

1AS Final Week: Finishing Collages and Teddy Drawing

This week 1AS finished off their wonderful landscape collages by adding their beautiful leaf prints:

Exciting news! These collages will be displayed in the Welling School gallery, along with other work from year 1 and year 5 - look out for the blog post with photos of the show on 7th May

This week 1AS brought in their own teddy bears to draw. They used charcoal on buff (brown) paper and chalk on black A3 paper - they look fabulous!

1AS also decorated their sketchbooks with treasure using collage -

Meeow!! 

Well done 1AS, wonderful work. We are looking forward to seeing it displayed in the gallery...
