Year 8 Art trip to the De La Warr Pavilion
On the 17th of November, two minibuses departed Copthorne full of eager year 8 artists bound for the De La Warr Pavilion Gallery in Bexhill. The purpose of the visit was to view the touring ‘Warhol is Here’ exhibition which explores artist Andy Warhol’s beliefs, lifestyle and legacy. Year 8 are studying Warhol’s work and were lucky enough to receive a guided tour of the exhibition with a local artist. It was exciting for the students to see Warhol’s work up close, and they showed particular interest in his bold prints of famous personalities like Marilyn Monroe and Chinese leader read the full post »
The Nursery is busy!
The younger children have been talking about all the colours of the rainbow this week. They have made rainbow birds, and beautiful butterflies decorated with multi-coloured collage to hang on the walls. Next week is black and white so watch out for snowy night time pictures! The older classes have been reading about a very naughty cat called ‘Slinky Malinki’. They enjoyed listening to the stories in which he turns from a good cat during the day to a rascally cat at night. To tie in with this theme they have painted cats, coloured cats and made cat cakes! read the full post »
Arts Day for Year 3 and 4
We all made out own individual scrap books in the morning and started to fill them with different sketches. Some drew parts of school whereas others looked at the natural environment. Year 3 had a great day which culminated in them cave painting outside – Mrs Wade was spying her new class outside the window! Year 4 ended the day making Native American Totems from felt. Using fabric glue for the first time in the class room meant we had to have all the windows open but the finished results were beautiful – we hope you agree. PHOTOS CAN BE read the full post »

Pre-Prep Art
PRE-PREP ART In case you have not noticed, impressions of Degas’ work are appearing all over the department. The children are required to observe an original piece of art very closely, and then do their best to reproduce it! We study 9 different artists on a 3 year programme, hoping that children will learn to recognise and appreciate famous works of art; this intention bears fruit in Year 2 when the children visit the National Gallery and often are able to recognise works by artists they have studied.
