 What We Did
Reading Golf Course by Chloe, Jamie and Ellis, age 8
We chose to create the golf course because it is behind our school. We made it by sponging paint onto the paper.

|
St Barnabas Church by Chloe, Rebecca and Emily, age 8
We choose to do this project because our school is right next to this church and we always see it on our journey to school. St Barnabas church is number 20 on St Barnabas road and the Vicar is Reverend Derek Chandler.
|
Our School Family Tree by Leanne, Hannah and Shanice, age 8
We decided to create a piece of artwork which showed the school family tree. We used leaves found around the school for the templates.

The Emmer Green Sign by Emily, Andi, Chloe, Sarah and Natisha, age 8
The Emmer Green sign is a wooden sculpture in the centre of the village. On it shows the local history of Emmer Green and present day places in Emmer Green. We decided to make the Emmer Green sign because we learnt a lot about it in our topic lessons.

The Chalk Mines by Jodie, Brannon and Lucy, age 8
We made this art work using chalks onto black paper. The Village of Emmer Green is built upon a chalk mine.

Our Houses by Megan, Joshua, Chris and Sarah, age 8
We choose this art project because we wanted to show people what our houses in Emmer Green look like.

Final Thoughts
Students: We have really enjoyed
doing this art project. We were able to choose a part of Emmer
Green that we were interested in and make a piece of artwork
from it. We had to do lots of work to plan and design our
project like going to look at our building and doing observational
drawings. We also got to experiment with the materials which
we were planning to use. The making of the artwork was great
fun as we got to use art techniques that we hadn't used before.
We enjoyed working in groups and quickly learnt how important
it was to work well together.
Teacher: This project linked
to our Topic of 'Our Local Area', where we studied Emmer Green
in great detail. We looked at the history of the village and
how it has changed in the last 100 years. The children grew
familiar with local buildings and attributes of the area.
They used this knowledge to inspire them to design and create
their artwork. The project allowed the children experience
a wide range of art techniques which they found thoroughly
enjoyable. It also encouraged the children to work in collaboration.
It was inspiring to see the children taking ownership of appearance
of the art gallery.
