Year 5 learn about digital art during a visit to 'Today at Apple'

Year 5 visited 'Today at Apple' to learn more about digital art and to practise digital techniques using Procreate.

The children enjoyed this engaging and informative workshop which formed part of their  learning about John Dyer, this year’s whole school artist.  

Natural links between curriculum areas are always made and explored in learning at West Lodge School; this project brought together Art, Computing and Design. 

We used an app called Procreate, along with an iPad and Apple Pencil to create our designs.  First, we took a photo of our partner and used the outline to create our portrait and then we added colour.  We created our portraits in the style of John Dyer who is the artist we are learning about this year.
