This week, Year 6 have completed their art unit on Collage – ‘to use found materials and adhesives to assemble and embellish decoratively’.

We have been exploring the work of Gustav Klimt, the renowned Austrian artist known for his intricate patterns, rich colours, and iconic use of gold leaf. Inspired by his masterpiece ‘The Tree of Life’ and other works from his ‘Golden Phase’ of artwork linked to nature, we learned about his unique artistic style. To bring Klimt’s techniques to life, we have created stunning collages, layering tissue paper, metallic papers, patterned textures, and bold shapes to recreate his artwork. This work has been submitted to the Victoria Methodist Church Art Competition.

Now we are in Term 4, SATs preparation is in full swing, Year 6 are sharpening their skills, tackling past papers, and mastering those all-important test techniques. Well done Year 6, we are proud of your determination and positive mindset!
