Using willow charcoal sticks to draw Henry Moore's reclining figure. The Y5/6's learnt about composition, mark making, smudging and shading. An amazing effort from every child and so great to see such a variety of drawing styles 🎨 ⭐ @Tockwithcofe #TockY5 #TockY6 #TockArt

Loving these quirky little bird sculptures created over two Art Club sessions. Designed, coloured, cut out and assembled with lots of care and attention. Adding beads of choice which complement the final piece. Definitely a favourite of mine 🐦🎨⭐ @Tockwithcofe #TockY4 #TockArt

Our black & white zentangle letters look brilliant against the colourful pinpoint perspective backgrounds. We have only used coloured pencils and black fineliner pens to produce these super pieces. Well done to my Year 4 artists 👏🏻🎨⭐ @Tockwithcofe #TockY4 #TockArt

@GarethNotGarth Life is a book. This is the next chapter of it. Wishing you all the very best 🙏🏻

The Y6 finale for our Celtic art topic. Painting the initial letter of our name to incorporate knotwork, spirals, key patterns and zoomorphics. These look awesome in watercolours, outlined in black fineliner pen. Great work Year 6 @Tockwithcofe #TockY6 #TockArt 🎨⭐👏🏻

@Dorcasneedle @Tockwithcofe Thank you. They are a super group of children 🙏🏻

Year 2 followed a set of simple step-by-step instructions to create their Easter bunnies today. I love how they're all so individual with such wonderful characters @Tockwithcofe #TockArt #TockY2 🐰🎨🐇

Year 4 were feeling the love yesterday, so we decided to create some colourful hearts. We decorated them, adding zentangle patterns in black fineliner. Some even wrote a message on the back to a loved one. They all look brilliant ❤️🧡🩷💜💚💙🖤🎨⭐ @Tockwithcofe #TockArt #TockY4

The penultimate art club session for the Year 5's, saw the group complete their llama's wearing woolly woven blankets. A tricky skill to master, but everyone did a great job 👏🏻 🦙 🎨 ⭐ #TockArt #TockY5 @Tockwithcofe

Drawing bison like cavemen would have during the Stone Age, using brown paper, charcoal sticks and chalk pastels. They all look brilliant 🦬🎨⭐ @Tockwithcofe #TockArt #TockY4

The Year 5 art clubbers have finished their cute little bobble hats in two sessions. It's amazing what you can create with a loo roll and a bit of wool! All very different with their choice of colours too. Same time next week guys 🎨⭐😊 #TockArt #TockY5 @Tockwithcofe

[Julie Starr @MrsstarrStarr]

@DarrellWakelam @HeroicMrT Me too. Don't know how I'd cope without my umpteen lists 😂

[Julie Starr @MrsstarrStarr]

What better way to end our topic Roman art, by creating an 'edible tile'. Each child thought about what they could use for a tile base, the glue and embellishments. They planned a design and went wild with their imagination. So much fun 👏🏻⭐🎨 @Tockwithcofe #TockArt #TockY6

[Julie Starr @MrsstarrStarr]

Our homage to Street Art / Banksy based on his famous 'A Girl with a Balloon'. First, we created a wall with chalk pastels and charcoal, then added a red balloon with a word or message in keeping with Banksy's style. Awesome work Y3🎈🎨⭐ @Tockwithcofe #TockArt #TockY3

[Julie Starr @MrsstarrStarr]

We finished our cork polar bears tonight in art club, and they all look adorable wearing their colourful felt scarves. Pom pom ears, a little bit of white fur and some white acrylic paint. Well done everyone 🐻‍❄️🧣🎨⭐ @Tockwithcofe #TockArt #TockY3

One of the advent windows is up. It's a silhouette of Neville, the school dog surrounded by bones, which a small group of children helped to add colour to. The window's not as complicated as last year, but I'm pleased with how it looks 🐾🦴🐶 @Tockwithcofe #TockArt #Tock5 #Tock6

[Julie Starr @MrsstarrStarr]

@drum980 @Tockwithcofe It's amazing what can be achieved with a few lentils and peppercorns 👏🏻

[Julie Starr @MrsstarrStarr]

We've been studying the Romans, so what better than to create our very own mosaic tile. Everyone planned their tile, deciding on which items they were going to use. Very fiddly and lots of patience needed, but such wonderful results 🔱 ⭐ 🎨 @Tockwithcofe #TockArt #TockY5

[Julie Starr @MrsstarrStarr]

Our final piece of artwork, inspired by the American author and illustrator Bernard Most and his book, 'If the Dinosaurs Came Back'. Simple black pen work, with a bold splash of colour. Awesome artwork again from the Y1/2 artists 🦖🦕🎨 #TockArt #Tock1 #Tock2 @Tockwithcofe
