Year 5 ESA

July 15, 2024/in General News/by Mark Pedrasa

On Wednesday Year 5 had the pleasure of visiting Elstree Screen Arts Academy.

We looked at their exhibition of Year 13 students’ final art projects and they were amazing and so inspirational! We were asked to choose our favourite piece of artwork and explain why. This was the tricky part!

After that, we split ourselves into two teams and completed different workshops. For one workshop, the children were asked to create a slow motion animation. The children chose two characters and created them using play-dough. We then created a short story about them using a series of photographs. Watch this space for our completed animations!

The second group were asked to create a piece of artwork focused on a colour or image and make a piece of art on a canvas. These will then be put together to make an amazing piece of art that we can display in the school.

Thank you ESA for an amazing experience, the children loved it!
