Happy Monday to all of KS1

Hope you have had a good weekend.   We are welcoming some of the Year One children back this morning and will be sharing some of the work we will be doing for you to try at home too.

This is the start of Children’s Art Week

https://engage.org/happenings/childrens-art-week/

 

Children’s Art Week is run by Engage – the National Association for Gallery Education. During this time, schools, art galleries, museums and community groups are encouraged to plan and provide art activities and events with the goal of providing opportunities for children, young people and families to take part in practical activities with artists and art educators.

Children’s Art Week 2020 will take place across 3 weeks from 29th June to 19th July. Activities will take place online, at home and in schools. Each week has a different theme:

  • Week 1 – The Natural World
  • Week 2 – Connecting across generations
  • Week 3 – Literacy and creative writing

What activities take place during Children’s Art Week?

In 2020 there is a focus on art activities that can be accessed online. This could be a live-streamed session with an artist, digital challenges, virtual tours of galleries and more. Participants are encouraged to share any of their creations online and with others. The activities that take place are also often linked to the Scottish, Welsh and English curriculum for Art. All events and activities are free or low cost to participate in.
