New Silksworth Academy Arts and Arts Award Centre

CONGRATULATIONS, GRADUATES! Our Year 4 children received their Trinity College, London, accredited certificates for the submitted pieces to the @NSA_Arts after school today. A massive achievement for our children. They have produced stunning art work! cc:@extoltrust

'The magic of the loom' is in Nursery @NewSilksAcademy #WeAreDeveloping 🧵 fine motor & hand eye coordination 🧵 awareness of textiles 🧵 vocab: yarn, loom, fibre, weave, cloth 🧵 understanding cloth is a made material & clothes are made from it #EYFS #whereDTbegins @extoltrust

Nursery @NewSilksAcademy explored flowers today, looking closely & drawing what they saw. One child made a flower using a stick she found in the garden, carefully wrapping the stick with pink thread and wool. Very soon, her friends joined her. 💐 #TimetoBloom #EYFS #WeAreGrowing

Nursery children have enjoyed creating spring pictures inspired by our exploration of blossom. 🌸 ...and they are just beautiful. #WeAreCreative @NewSilksAcademy @extoltrust

🪲Minibeast Collage 🪲 First we layered paint on sugar paper with different colours and textures to add depth. We then cut out shapes to match our insect samples. Results speak for themselves. Every single one is as unique as the artist! @NewSilksAcademy @extoltrust @NSA_Arts

I just had to share this amazing piece of art from a Year 4 student. She has really blown me away with her ability to create texture with shading! @NewSilksAcademy 🎨🖌️
