Trailblazers and Barrier Breakers
Trailblazers and Barrier Breakers
The second art companion project involved year 6 looking at inspirational black artists. The first activity was to research 2 chosen artists and understand their work’s inspiration. Looking into the style and media the artist chose to use and the background story of a particular piece.
The second activity required a critical eye and a closer look at evaluating art. This included the artists use of colour, light and shadow, tonal range, and dominance of objects.
The children then chose a piece they wanted to sketch. They used a variety of different art pencils to complete their task and their knowledge of the different aspects of artwork.

Wow Event- In the style
Year 6 showcased their knowledge of different inspirational black artists at today’s wow event. After studying the artwork and researching the artist, the children used a colour palette and characteristics of the artist to recreate the piece in 3 different styles, clay, paint or pencil sketching.
To accompany the event the children sang some of the traditional Ghanaian songs they had been rehearsing in their music lessons.
