Arts Week

This week has been our Take One Picture week. Our picture was Mr & Mrs Andrews by Thomas Gainsborough.

Year 1

1A decided to recreate the picture using different backgrounds. We took on the role of mr or Mrs Andrews ad posed in their positions in different places around the school. Can you tell where we are?

In 1M we thought about what might have happened before and after. We created a narrative base don the painting.

Year 2

In Literacy, 2S made up a dialogue between the couple and then acted it out.

What do you think the couple are saying to each other?

In 2F we have been using our imaginations. We have created character descriptions for Mr Gainsborough. Please take some time to read Oli’s description.

In 2D we spoke about how the characters may be feeling in the picture and then we described it. Here are some of our quotes.

The gun is glistening with the suns reflection. - Krish

Mrs Andrews’ clothes are swaying like water rushing down a drain. Whilst Mr Andrews shoots down birds, Mrs Andrews looks away in disgust. - Ewan

Mr Andrews holds a gun like a hunter wanting to spy on an animal. - Danny

The man is standing still and wearing a hard, black hat. - Aidan

His face, which is very grumpy, is as pale as a peach.- Ashwin
