Art
Over the next few weeks we will be looking at pencil sketching. This week we are going to start to develop our skills of sketching and observation. Your challenge is to draw a collection of tiny objects – by tiny I mean things which are roughly the size of a five pence piece – things like small shells, pebbles, leaves, beads, screws. Start by scattering the objects over a large, clean sheet of paper. Take a sharp pencil, and make sure you are near to the objects so that you can really see all their detail.
As you draw, let your eyes flit between looking at the object and looking at your sketch. Ideally you should look at the object for a few seconds, then your drawing for a few seconds, then the object, then the drawing…Also begin to become aware of how you can change the the marks you make in response to what you see. For example experiment with how much pressure you use, in different parts of the drawing. …. Enjoy drawing small!
French
This week we will be looking at pets. Please use this link to learn the names of some common pets. Please click on the full tutorial option. You will continue to click through the webpage recognising the names of pets in French. Once you have completed that you can complete the wordsearch below (this is also available to complete on Showbie). There is also a word bank and short video to help you.
