The theme for this week's challenge is 'The view from my window'. This means you can use ANY media (pencils, crayons, pastels, paint, collage, clay etc.) to create a piece of artwork which represents the view from your window.
You could create a representation of:
It is completely up to you what you want to create! I felt this idea was fitting for a challenge as we are all spending more time at home and there are so many different views from our windows.
Excitingly, this week's challenge is a competition! There are going to be three prizes: a FS/KS1 prize, a KS2 prize and an adult prize (any adult can enter: parent, staff member, governor, family member...the more the merrier!) and because of this, I am going to give you two weeks to complete it.
When you have finished, take a picture and send it to chunt@denbyfree.org.uk. The closing date for entries is Monday 8th February.
Some suggested steps for getting started:
Can't wait to see what you do!
You could create a representation of:

Some suggested steps for getting started:
- Start sketching and gathering some ideas and views from your window, looking at composition and a subject or view that interests you.
- Take your pen for a walk and sketch the view first.
- Do you want to include the window frame or not?
- Do you want to include an interior scene with outdoors?
- What view do you get in different directions?
- Is there something that is fun or sends a message?
- Can ordinary everyday objects make an interesting subject?
- Include the main shapes and ideas in your sketch. Include the tones so you pick out lights, darks and medium shades.
Can't wait to see what you do!
