Charcoal Sketches in Y3

This week Year 3 have been developing their knowledge of great artists by exploring the still life work of Wilhelm Kalf, Georges Braque and Pieter Claesz .

With each still life image, Year 3 used a range of questions to structure their discussions.

  • Why do you think the artist made it?
  • What can you see in the picture?
  • Which colours are used?
  • When do you think it was made?
  • How does the image make you feel?

With a final question of which image would you choose to have at home and why?

Year 3 then worked with charcoal in their sketch books to create still life sketches of peppers.

Have a look at some of the end results.
