Tudor Church of England Primary School

Art Project 2024

This year our whole school project is based on Cedric Morris' painting entitled 'Flowers in a Portuguese landscape'.

We were very fortunate to go to The Gainsborough Gallery to see the original painting in their exhibition in October. It was a wonderful experience. 

Our first whole school art day was Monday 4th November. 

Please see below for some photos of our work so far.

Tudor Art Exhibition 2024

This was a new venture for us this year. We decided that as a school we would enjoy a year long project based on 'The Girl with the Pearl Earring'. Every class worked on various aspects of the painting over 3 days during the year. 

Day 1 we focussed on the context of the painting.

Day 2 we focussed on the technique of the painting - underpainting

Day 3 we produced some art using the techniques learnt about previously. 

All of this work was then displayed in school one afternoon. We invited our local art gallery The Gainsborough House and also the Town Mayor. We served sparkling drink and canapes for every adult and child who visited. The gallery was open between 3.20pm and 5.30pm. We were crowded out and were delighted to welcome so many people to see the wondeful art produced by the children which was of an exceptionally high standard.

Please see the photos below for some highlights. 

After School Art Club.

We have a very full and enthusiastic art club running every Monday after school. 

They do beautiful paintings.

Here are some from their current project. I am sure you will agree they are beautiful. 

They are paintined using acrylic paint. 

Our Pop Up Art Club was very popular this week! Children from Upper Key Stage 2 worked in the art studio one evening to create these lovely landscapes. 

They were a complete delight to work with!
