Exploring the work of Rhiannon Roberts

The children explored the elements of Rhiannon’s work and identified key features such as rainbow colours, cloud trees and wave skies. They then created their own interpretation of he Castell Coch painting.

St David’s day art and craft

The Golwg y Cwm ‘Cynefin Mural’ created in collaboration with Orielodl

Cynefin ~ ‘the multiple intertwined factors in our environment and experience that influence our thoughts and decisions in ways we don’t fully understand’.

The children and staff were delighted to work in collaboration with local artist, Rhys Jones, also known as Oreilodl, to portray their feelings and thoughts about what was important to them in their community.

The children identified key elements such as the Henrhyd Waterfall, the arches of the old Ynyscedwyn ironworks, the coal mining heritage, Adelina Patti’s home at Craig-y-Nos, our Welsh language and, of course, Maggie the school dog! All of these were woven together by Rhys to create stunning murals that the children then helped to paint.

We think they are fantastic!

Year 5 and 6 studied the work of Josef Herman (fondly known as ‘Joe Bach’ by the people of Ystradgynlais, where he lived for eleven years)

The work of Kyffin Williams

Dosbarth Glas

The children studied the work of Helen Elliott who lives in Newcastle Emlyn. They identified the key elements in her work and then reproduced them in a range of media using pencil, pastel and paint.
