Lady Royd Primary School held their annual Art week during the last week of the Autumn term, this year it was linked it to the BDAT theme of ‘Belonging’. Each year group planned and taught a five step sequence linked to artists around the world. Children in Year 4 explored the work of well-known collage artist Loui Jover. Year 5 explored the artist Claire Caulfield who went to school and is from Bradford. Year 1 used the artist Victora Willmott to inspire their work. Each year group took a key word:
Reception – Family
Year 1 – Community
Year 2 – Collaboration
Year 3 – Inclusion
Year 4 – Celebrating Uniqueness
Year 5 – Our City – Bradford
Year 6 – Unity – Global Citizenship
To showcase the art work Lady Royd invited parents and pupils to their Art Gallery on Thursday 22nd October, where staff welcomed parents, with over 100 parents attending. The work of the children was incredible and they had some amazing feedback. Thanks go to all the staff, to the artists who visited and Art teacher Emma Bairstow who supported the staff in the planning and delivery of this project which linked nicely to the BDAT conference on Friday 23rd October.
