Kandinsky - Room 18 Creative Art

This term Room 18 has been studying abstract art and have produced some amazing interpretations using the artist Wassily Kandisky's abstract art as an inspiration for colour, line and form. They also used music to create their work, using music from Fiona Apple's 'Not about love' and Pink Floyd's 'Shine on you crazy diamond'.

Once all children have completed their work we will upload a slideshow of their work, but for now the children will reflect on their art experience.

Answer these questions:
What have you titled your work and why?
What have you learnt about abstract art? How is it different?
Make a comment on one of the images in the video shown below? What did you notice? What did you like? Make a comment about the colours and ideas you had in your work.
Which music inspired your piece the most and how?

Amazing Writing

In Room 18 this term we have learnt about character descriptions. We know that it is very important that our audience is able to see the story in their mind. We used an exemplar for Level 4 called 'A Kid Called John' - you can view the sample used as a model here. Not all children are publishing their work, but all stories are a great example of using explicit description of a characters physical appearance and personality traits.
