The final week of term started with a day of art - based on the National Gallery 'Take One Picture' activities. 

 

This year the picture was 'The Courtyard of a House in Delft' by Pieter de Hooch, painted in 1658. 

 

The morning was spent exploring ideas around art and looking closely at different artwork to explore techniques and picture composition. In the afternoon, each class then worked to create their own artwork inspired by the Pieter de Hooch picture. 

 

Aqua class focussed on brickwork and recreating the objects within the picture, Cobalt class looked at costume and the clothing worn at the time, and Teal class focussed on the archway and what could be seen through an arch. The resulting artwork will be put up over the summer and displayed in the Exton Art Gallery. Do come and have a look in the hall in September!
