The Meerkat is in Japan!

Year 2 have been receiving postcards from Sunny, their meerkat friend. He is travelling the world and visiting many places. Year 2 have been following him on a map. While he was in  Japan, the class looked carefully at Japanese buildings. They sketched, painted and finally made their own 3-D Japanese inspired buildings.

Inspired by Hockney

David Hockney is one of the most influential British artists of the 20th century and an important contributor to the 1960s’ Pop Art movement. He’s now creating paintings on his iPad.

Hockney has emailed 300 iPad drawings to an exhibition in Paris.
The iPad is has become a new tool for the artist, mainly in that it allows him to paint at any time of the day and employ the full spectrum of the colour wheel.

 

Inspired by David Hockney's ipad paintings, Year 4 used their iPads to think about setting in Literacy when they studied 'The Green Ship'.
