Year Two Long Term Plan

Winter display

In Year 2 we have been practising our painting skills. We learnt how to hold our paintbrushes correctly, use the correct amount of paint on our brushes and practised our colour mixing skills. We made tints of blue using white paint. We think our winter scenes are fantastic!

Art Autumn 2

This half term we are focusing on art skills. We will be painting, weaving, shading with pencils and creating textures on clay.

So far this half term, we have practised mixing primary colour paints to make different shades of the secondary colours. We applied our skills to create these colourful plates which were inspired by the work of Clarice Cliff.
