Morden Masterpieces

Starting in Reception, our pupils are immediately exposed to a wide range of artistic mediums. Coupled with the explicit teaching of foundational skills and inspiration drawn from the work of famous artists, this approach is designed to systematically build confidence in our young learners. This early, guided exposure ensures that when children are asked to independently experiment with different mediums, they feel equipped and encouraged to "have a go" and express their creativity without hesitation.

We completed an art project in Summer 2 2025 and our artwork was displayed in West Greenwich Library over the summer holidays which was a fantastic opportunity for our school and our children.

I See Me - EYFS

Reception have been studying the topic’ All about me’.  They took time to draw their own families using pencils and colours, then created a collage of their house.

I See Thee - KS1

Year 1 have been working on the topic ‘ourselves’.  They worked in pairs and did some observational paintings of each other, paying attention to colours and features of their partner. They mixed colours and use careful brush strokes. 

Year 2 have been studying the topic Africa.  They have been looking at giraffes and the patterns on their fur.  They mixed their own colours and created giraffe patterns putting them all together in a collaborative project to make a giant giraffe. 

Getting Smart with Art - LKS2

Year 3 have created Cave art inspired by Stone Age art.  They used charcoal and painting techniques to create animals in the style of stone age art.

Year 4 have been looking at paintings by Monet linked with rivers and water lilies.  They used different kinds of brush strokes inspired by Monet’s techniques and applied these to cityscape paintings following their trip to Deptford Creek.
