Today, Year 6 took part in the ‘Faces and Places’ project run by the National Portrait Gallery.
The Faces and Places project is an investigation of a collection of portraits held in the National Portrait Gallery of inspiring people connected to Westminster and an exploration of what portraiture can reveal about ourselves, each other, our locality and our past as well developing ideas around portrait-making.
We had an enjoyable session with Scarlet and Alba from the National Portrait Gallery. We had the chance to look at ten portraits and explore ways that portraits can reveal ideas and clues about the person. We looked closely to discover clues that each artist gives about the person in the portrait, their life and achievements. We also had the chance to draw portraits of each other, make copies using carbon paper and then weave our two portraits together to make some abstract art.
I really enjoyed doing this art it was very interesting and fun.
It was really fun because we did each other portrait in the same time it was difficult because all the details are difficult to draw.
I really enjoyed the faces and places workshop! We did a lot of fun activities including drawing a portrait of someone. Thank you Alba and Scarlet!
This workshop was very interesting because we got to sketch and I love sketching.
I had so much FUN! In my opinion I think that we used a very interesting technique; and it helped me to look at my picture in different perspectives.
It was a really creative thing to do with a lot of different ways to do it.
This was a very cool workshop.I learnt many cool techniques that were a bit challenging but I did them.
I liked this workshop because I used techniques that I never used before.
I enjoyed this workshop because I learnt a lot about art.
I liked this workshop because i learned how to fix my mistakes.
This was so fun!
I can’t wait to do it again next time, by the end of it I am sure every one will end up as an artists.
It was so fun to have the workshop and to learn new things with them .
This art workshop was amazing!
I loved doing this, however my art was not very good.
I learnt that side profiles can be hard to draw and making abstract art is really fun.
i learnt many diffrent ways of drawing
It was really fun but the hard thing was DOING A DRAWING WITH ONE STROKE. I tried drawing Aluna WITH ONE STROKE and i gave her elf ears ;-;.
It was very hard! I learnt how to draw a side profile. Drawing it was pretty fun, though.
I loved creating all of the art.It was fantastic!
I loved the faces and places workshop because I liked how when we drew our drawing went on the other side too. I loved the idea of weaving two (nearly the same) pictures together to create an artwork. I also loved the workshop because I love art. I think that I will practise that because my artwork that good and I think I could have done better.
It was very fun doing many different kinds of art styles!!!
This was an AMAZING experience!
This was very fun even though my artwork wasn’t as good as I expected. My artwork looked horrid but I tried my best.
I had so much fun making the portrait of Erietta.
It was so much fun learning weaving again
Last week was really fun because we had to do our partner it was a bit challenging but it was really fun doing it.
