This week in Art, our talented Rowan class embarked on an exciting journey to discover how artists use shapes in their drawings. The children learned to recognise simple shapes and how these can be combined to create more complex objects. This foundational skill is vital, as it enhances their observational abilities and nurtures their creativity. By breaking down a plant into its basic shapes, the students were able to sketch their own interpretations before adding intricate details, allowing their artistic expressions to flourish.
Art plays a significant role in education, fostering not only creativity but also critical thinking and problem-solving skills. As the children engaged in this activity, they were encouraged to translate what they observed into their artwork, which is an essential part of cognitive development. We are proud to see our students embracing these artistic challenges and developing their skills in such a meaningful way.
To further enrich this experience, we invite parents to appreciate the creativity blossoming in our classrooms. Here are some key learning outcomes from this week’s lesson:
- Recognising shapes
- Sketching techniques
- Adding details
