Creative Learning at Home 2

As we are still spending time at home with our families, we have

updated the creative learning activities. There are some related to year groups, but

anyone can do them.

All the activities will require you to use your imagination, talents and skills.

Remember they can be completed in any order.

It would be lovely to see your fabulous work, so keep your work in a

journal/scrapbook and if you are able to, take photographs for the Art Gallery on

the school blog.

Get creating and enjoy!

1 Year 3: Light and Shadows

Use drawing pencils to create a tonal chart.

Try using different colours…

Draw a picture of a piece of fruit. Use your pencil to add shading

and tone. Think about where the light is coming from...

Make a shadow puppet.

Draw your shape onto card (an old cereal box will do),

cut it out and stick it to a straw or a stick (ask an adult

to help).

Use your puppets to tell a story.

Hold them up near a blank wall…where does the light

need to be to create the shadow?

structures

you have at home.

Year 5: Living Things 3

Life Cycles

Draw or paint the life cycle of an animal or insect.

Or, draw your own life cycle so far showing the

changes overtime. Use any art materials you have…

Draw a plant in detail.

Use pencils to create an observational drawing of a

house plant. Don’t worry if you don’t have a house

plant – use an image from the internet.

If you need help, there are lots of YouTube clips, just

remember to use the internet safely.

This artist uses beetles and butterflies to create symmetrical art works which he

then photographs.

Try creating your own version by drawing insects in a symmetrical pattern.

Think about what different colours you could use and what pattern you could

make. Send us a photo for the art gallery on the school blog.

Try creating your own heart art…

Write a poem about the heart. Use the heart

shape in the middle and write your sentences

around it – keep to the shape of the heart!

Kandinsky style… Or, a single heart like this one

Just twist into long pipes and wrap them around each other to create figures and

animals.
