Maintaining and supporting your child’s learning during school closure Dear Parents / Carers, Thank you for the work done so far and encouraging the children to keep up with it in such difficult circumstances. We know you will all be doing your very best.

Below is an outline of some Art planning based on Pointillism. Keep safe and stay in touch. Kind Regards, The Year 3 Team

Art Mon Georges Seurat 08.06.21 Read through the PowerPoint about Georges Seurat. If you cannot access the PowerPoint, use a computer/iPad to research Georges Seurat.

Tues Pointillism 09.06.21 Read through the PowerPoint about Pointillism. If you cannot access the PowerPoint, use a computer/iPad to research Pointillism.

Choose one artist from the following: Georges Seurat, Paul Signac, Maximillian Luce or Charles Angrand and complete the sheet: Pointillism Painter Fact File. You will need access to a computer/iPad so you can research them on the internet. Make sure you choose an artist because you love their artwork. You will be using this artist as inspiration over the next couple of weeks.

Wed Pointillism techniques 10.06.21 Watch the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dyapH_yAPQ, which teaches Pointillism techniques of shading and blending, using felt tip pens and paint.

Once you have watched the video, have a go at experimenting with both techniques. If you do not have cotton buds, you could use the end of a paintbrush or pencil. It would be great to see your experimentations so ask your parent or carer to send us a picture of your work via the Year 3 email.

Thurs Pointillism techniques continued 11.06.21 Using the techniques learned yesterday (Wednesday) complete the sheet: Pointillism Techniques. You could use felt tips or paint, or both. You can choose one technique such as shading or blending, or both! Think carefully about the colours you choose. Click on the link https://www.tigercolor.com/color- lab/color-theory/color-harmonies.htm which will help you on choosing colours.

It would be great to see your finished piece of work so ask your parent or carer to send us a picture via the Year 3 email.

Fri On Tuesday, you chose a pointillism artist to research about. Using the internet, research famous paintings by that artist and pick a favourite piece of work 12.06.21 by them. You are going to see this artwork to complete your own piece of art in the style of pointillism. You are going to copy a section not all of the painting.

For example. If this was your painting, you are going to choose just a small section of it. I have drawn a black rectangle on the section I want to copy. You can then sketch that part of the painting using pencil. Make sure you press down lightly.

Next, choose whether you are going to use paint or felt tip pens to colour in your sketch. Look carefully at the painting to see whether the artist used shading, blending or both techniques. Take your time and have fun!
