Creative Journeys with Artist Sinead McDermott
As part of the For Arts Sake project, Primary 5JC have spent the past six weeks working with artist Sinead McDermott on exciting art and design activities.
They began by exploring their Ancient Egyptian topic, creating impressive 3D masks of Tutankhamun and designing detailed sarcophagi.
With the festive season approaching, the focus shifted to Christmas-themed art. Pupils used watercolours to bring vibrant images of Santa and robins to life, learning how line and shape form the foundation of great drawings. They also discovered techniques for blending and shading with water to achieve beautiful effects in their paintings.
Their Santa paintings were transformed into Christmas cards, which have been posted to our link school in Spain. Feliz Navidad!
This has been a wonderfully creative experience, and the children have developed new artistic skills they will carry forward.
A huge thank you to Sinead McDermott for sharing her talent and inspiring our pupils throughout this project!
