Beechwood Primary School

Autumn 1

Year 4 have made an excellent start to the Autumn term and have worked hard across the curriculum. They have shown a particular interest in Art this term and have started to study a variety of illustration styles with the focus of “Storytelling Through Drawing”. They began by looking at the work of renowned illustrators Shaun Tan and Laura Carlin, before starting to develop their own styles in their visual notes. They have then started to apply these styles by using a variety of sketching tools (such as pencils, pens and ink). The children have then used these skills to start their work on some wonderful final pieces in which they took inspiration from Lewis Carroll’s poem “The Jabberwocky” in order to create their final illustrations.
