Ms Staines’s Class – Art Update – T2-W2

This week, Year 3-4 students completed their Renoir-inspired artworks.

Students read the learning materials provided and developed a deeper understanding of Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s life and artistic background. They then answered guided questions, practising how to find key information from a text and express their understanding in written form.

In the second session, students were introduced to Post-Impressionist artist Georges Seurat.

We explored his unique technique of Pointillism, learning how small dots of colour can work together to create images and visual effects.

Students selected a subject they personally enjoy and reinterpreted it using dots instead of lines or large areas of colour. This activity encouraged patience, focus, and creative problem-solving while helping students understand how artistic techniques influence the final outcome.

Overall, it was a meaningful week combining art history, reading comprehension, and creative expression.
