5BH started their David Hockney unit in Art today. Here they are replicating one of Hockney’s paintings from “The Wolds” series. They worked hard to mix the bright, bold colours he used when painting his Yorkshire landscapes. There was lots of focus and careful attention to detail in their work today.

Brighten up your morning by listening to 2LS who have learned to play ‘you are my sunshine’ on the glockenspiel! The children had to put their learning about tempo in action to ensure they were in time with the beat to play the notes at the right time, lots of concentration needed!

As we begin our Art Week at Willow Tree, 5KW were saddened to learn that Bradford-born artist David Hockney passed away last week at the age of 88. We have reflected on the remarkable life he led and the way his art continues to inspire people around the world and here in North Yorkshire. We are looking forward to exploring his work further and creating our own pieces, inspired by the same breathtaking Yorkshire landscapes that inspired him throughout his career.
