Art Mentors
Art mentors is a fledgling new club that provides opportunities for KS2 children to develop their art & design and leadership skills. Our intention, is to nurture our art mentors, so that they develop the skills and confidence to lead art workshops for our younger school members, in the Summer Term.
Spring Term 2023
This Spring term, the art mentors have been developing their printing skills and techniques. The children learnt how to use a Gelli press in T3, before moving onto making two-colour prints with styrofoam in T4. The children choose to make their styrofoam prints based on positive affirmations and messages. The printing process can be a tricky one... lettering needs to be drawn backwards to print forwards, prints need to be aligned carefully and inky finger marks get absolutely everywhere!
Please check back here later this term, to see the final prints.
Autumn Term 2022
This Autumn term, the art mentors have learnt about sketching from photographs to create paintings of endangered animals. They have been developing their colour theory and painting skills. As well as learning about creating art with a political message.
These final pieces look absolutely stunning! The typography was embroidered onto the canvases.
