This term we will be starting our Art topic which is all about the curse of Medusa. We will be drawing our own pictures of Medusa practicing techniques like sketching and shading which we have learnt about in Year 4. We will be looking at Traditional Greek art like paintings, sculptures and pottery. Remember, traditional art is historical and modern art is from between 1860s-1970s. Can you tell me one thing you remember learning about from art in Year 4?
Medusa was a gorgon who could turn people to stone by looking at them!
In year 4, we learned about sketching which is a light and gentle way of drawing and shading which adds shadows to our sketches.
One thing I’ve learned is how to sketch then shade with different pencils.
