Holy Child Primary School, Derry

Easter Art 🎨

3rd Apr 2026

Primary 5 explored the Easter story through art by creating powerful silhouette scenes of the crucifixion. The children carefully cut and arranged dark silhouettes to form the scene, thinking about shape and composition.

To make their artwork stand out, they painted beautiful gradient backgrounds, blending colours to create a dramatic sky effect behind the silhouettes. This technique helped highlight the scene and added depth and atmosphere to their work.

The finished pieces are striking and thoughtful, showing both creativity and careful attention to detail.

Well done, P5B!
