Sorry, my name is Wayne, not Art! Feel free to message.

Thanks for the shout out @eyesshutteacher.bsky.social! Hi Jon, also happy to help if i can! I'm an Art Specialist at a primary school in SE London. Have a great weekend.

Exactly, old school rocks! 😉

I just tried to find a giff but it’s far too old like us! 😂😂😂
Yep, I remember that music very clearly! Da daaaaa da da daa daaaaa! 😂

Darrell’s book is an excellent teaching resource! I’ve used it too!

Sadly I remember those adverts too! Not sure I could manage any clandestine balcony jumping at my age! 😂

Thank you, glad you are inspired! He’s a great artist to use & the children really love using the pastels. We did lots of sketchbook work using shape to develop the dinosaurs bodies. The skulls we did in steps. I would suggest doing skulls on white cartridge card, I think the results are better! 😊

Oh bugger I’m using mod roc next term!

The day we used those pastels I sneezed black dust. The school cleaners still aren’t talking to me 😂

Linked to the Literacy text ‘Dinosaurs & All That Rubbish’ Year 1 (5 & 6 yrs old) have learned about artist Abhijat Shrivastava, studying his charcoal artwork linked to climate change & conservation. Here are their pastel dinosaurs roaming the landscape! #PrimaryArt #EduSky

There isn’t anywhere to hide with the brutal honesty of youth 😂

It’s amazing how you get such an incredible outcome in a day! There is so much detail here, the texture on the brickwork, the windows, sky and clouds… brilliant! 🤩

Totally! When they had finished their final compositions a few started started drawing spaceships in their own cities to take home and then it started catching on, it got a few of my brain cells ticking 🤔🤩

They really enjoyed the project and found it really interesting. They also went for the most complicated designs, I had done some step by step examples that barely got used. 2 of the children wanted to draw London from Mortal engines, really difficult! I would have loved this at that age too!

These incredible Year 3 drawings were inspired by Retro-futuristic architecture from the 1930’s to 70’s. Children focused on creating depth, perspective and tonal values. Super proud! 🤩

It’s a brilliant idea and I imagine it was a structure they identified with. Architecture, me? What gave you that idea? 😂 I’ll be posting some retro futuristic architecture drawing next week, I’ll tag you I think it will be right up your street!

I really love the colours and textures. Brilliant all round Darrell! Fish eye lens images are great for seeing architecture in a different light too, these results are exciting to look at! 😊

This looks awesome! 🤩

A phonics display featuring the children's favourite frog 'Fred'. This was made by Year 1 children from Summerhill Academy in Tipton.

A close up of Fred's head.

A group of 12 Fred head models showing the different phonics sounds that the children are learning and using.

So, here's Fred Frog! 😮😁 The 100 Year 1 kids from Summerhill Academy have had a lot of fun creating one of their heroes. He's giving us a special phonics lesson along with Miss Hermon (who I was asked to conjure up) 😆

Architectural drawing is such a fantastic way of developing drawing skills! Here are some examples of developing work from Y2 London and Mumbai, Y3 retro futurism and Y6 Reimagining London Southbank! #PrimaryArt #EduSky #UKEd

The Battle of Lewisham is such an inspiring story of a community rallying together. Very timely. The quote about cauliflowers being thrown off balconies at the NF had a big impact on the children, they thought it was brilliant 🤩

Three years! 😮 Time flies . . . but my book Art Shaped is still finding new friends. It's back near the top of the Amazon 'craft book' chart again this week, which isn't bad three years on! 👍

The idea of not being able to accept people for who they are for them was very strange. Their hope for the future was very inspiring 😊

Thank you! Can’t wait to display them! 🤩
