Summer fun foods is our current art topic in Year 8. We have sculptured many different items that we might need for a summer picnic.
The students have created artwork that represents different summer foods. Plus we have painted some large waves to create a seaside scene on the class display board. We have spelt out the word picnic in our designs.
Our current art work involves creating a giant sandcastle. We used a large cardboard box as the base. The pupils added in a sand layer around each side.
Different items associated with the seaside were next to be added. We decorated our sandcastles with shells, fishes and many bright colours.
This was a great exercise in helping to encourage teamwork in Year 8. The pupils worked in small groups together on their shared sandcastles.
