Menu About Us Information News School Groups Year 6 learn about Henry Moore Posted by Year 6 Team On 14th November 2021 Filed under Pearl, Year 6 This week, Year 6 have been learning about the official World War II wartime artist, Henry Moore. We began our REAL Curriculum lessons by visiting the Henry Moore Museum in school. The children read interesting facts about his life and observed the various sculptures and drawings he had created during his life. Once back in class, we created an information page all about him. In the following lesson, we learnt about the colours Moore used in his shelter drawings. We then experimented, using various mediums of art including: ink pens, watercolour pencils, oil pastels and charcoal, to create colours similar to his work. In the next session, we observed the figures in Moore’s ‘Shelter Drawings’. We noticed how the figures, whilst sheltering in the London Underground, were usually sitting or lying down. We then practised drawing figures. During our final lesson, we learnt about perspective and the vanishing point. We then recreated one of Moore’s famous wartime sketches which showed the people sheltering underground within the tunnels. The children were super proud of their artwork and their work looks fantastic! Written by Year 6 Team Recently posted GCHQ Visitors Pearl Class Make Do & Mend C of E going green!
