Year 3 have been learning all about how spiders weave their webs. They loved making these spider web dream catchers and are developing stories about spiders weaving dreams. @jca__art#creativeartsweek 🕸️🕷️
Year 4 completed their observational drawings of dragonflies inspired by our focus illustrator Hannah Horn. We used pages from Katherine Rundell’s stories to practice our fine line technique.
Beautiful sketching in Reception at JCA, created with such care, precision & attention to detail. A wonderful example of creativity, focus, fine motor control & pride in learning ✏️✨ #EarlyYears#Reception#CreativeArtsWeek
Reception have loved the start of Creative Arts week. We are studying the illustrations of Yuval Zommer, and have enjoyed looking at his art in books as well as starting to study and use ink pens to draw our favourite bugs! @JCA__Art
This morning we have explored the artwork created by a contemporary Syrian artist, Nizar Sabour. We focused on how he connects texture and emotion to his artwork and how he paints how a city feels in his memory. We explored his style by using watercolours and pastels.
🎭 MASK WORKSHOP MAGIC!
As part of Creative Arts Week, we welcomed back former Salvo student & pro actor Terence Frisch for an inspiring mask workshop with Year 10 Drama 🎭💥
A fun, high-energy session that boosted confidence & physical theatre skills! 👏

What a busy but brilliant Creative Arts Week Year 3 have had! Our outdoor project is almost completed and we have been extremely patient when drawing the details onto our paintings! We cannot wait to share all our hard work with you at our gallery #CreativeArtsWeek#BranchingOut
From pallets to planters 🌿 Year 5 have worked with smiles on their faces whilst designing, sanding and lining their outdoor project. We can’t wait for our herbs and vegetables to grow 🥗 #CreativeArtsWeek#BranchingOut
Year 5 have loved designing and preparing our outdoor project. They demonstrated teamwork in abundance as they sanded our pallets. Their designs were creative and unique which included annotations and a step-by-step guide. #BranchingOut#CreativeArtsWeek
Year 4 took some time to ‘be in the now’ during our creative arts week. The children focussed on their balance and breathing #creativeartsweek#yoga @Schoolofyoga2
Year 1 have been practising drawing and painting ‘The Great Wave’ - they have mixed some beautiful shades and tints of blue! @JCA__Art#creativeartsweek
Our outdoor project is underway in Year 4! Using our DT skills to sand our pallet, drill holes into wood and collecting sticks. What could our outdoor project be? #creativeartsweek#theartofmusic#branchingout
Ideas coming to fruition with Year 6 & their art in the magical pond area. Learning lines coming to life & brilliant team work! #BranchingOut@JCA__Art#CreativeArtsWeek
Year 2 have been inspired by @lbpstars and her beautiful abstract oil paintings of nature and movement. We have experimented with colours to express our mood and feelings to be present and mindful!
