Year 5 this half term have focused on digital art using the animation app Flipaclip and the artist Peter Thorpe. First we studied and commented on his artwork and thought about how it made us feel and why. As a collective, we liked that it was quite retro and made us feel positive about the idea of space travel. We liked the colours and how they contrasted with the background to make the rockets stand out.
We then used his designs to help map out our own animations using his rockets for inspiration before creating our own on iPads.
