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?
Andy Goldsworthy.
Find out about Andy Goldsworthy, what kind of
artist is he? What materials does he use? Take a
look at these ice and snow sculptures he created.
What will happen to them...?
2 Year 4: States of Matter
All materials have a molecular structure.
Have a go at making or drawing molecular
structures
You can use pencils, pens, paint or any bits
you have at home.
Take a photo for the school blog.
Here are some examples…
Heat can change the state of some materials.
Create a heat picture using any art materials you have.

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…
4 Year 6: The Heart Jim Dine – Pop Artist
This artist has focused on the heart for a lot of his art work.
Create your own picture of the heart in his Pop Art style. Heart Poetry
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
also by Jim Dine.
Using tin foil, create sculptures inspired by the artist Giacometti.
Just twist into long pipes and wrap them around each other to create figures and
animals.
