Welcome to Year 5

My Favourite Subject

As our value of the half term is creativity, some of us have been using our Friday afternoon creative time to write about our favourite subject. Here’s Lily’s thought on her favourite subject, art!

Art can be lots of things, maybe painting, drawing, sometimes sketching. You can have artistic writing, collages and photography too. Art is also a way of expressing your feelings – and who said it had to be a picture of something? Dot painting and splats are a great way of expressing how you feel – and super fun too! Some famous artists used those methods to create beautiful plus interesting paintings and collages. In class we are doing observational art – a beautiful type of sketching where you count on the details to make you a masterpiece. Obviously if you have just started, you might not like your paintings as much as others – but don’t worry! It takes practise. Art is beautiful. So grab your paints and pencils (don’t  worry if you don’t have any ) and get arty!
