Last week, Reception class explored the vibrant and expressive work of British artist Gary Hume as part of their art curriculum. Inspired by his bold use of colour and simplified forms, the children created their own self-portraits using a similar style. They experimented with bright paints and strong outlines, learning how to express identity through colour and shape in a fun and creative way.
To celebrate their efforts, the children’s finished portraits have been proudly added to our classrooms display. They were so excited to see their work showcased and enjoyed sharing it with their friends. The display is a wonderful reflection of their creativity, individuality, and growing confidence as young artists.
Well done, Reception — your artwork is fantastic, and you should be very proud!
