Everyone welcome! # Year 6 - Mixed Media ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_1937.jpeg) 23 January 2026 Year 6 continued to develop their mixed media artwork, building on previous skills and techniques. The children explored the use of background, scale and composition, considering how foreground, middle ground and background work together. Using images of everyday objects, the children creatively transformed them into buildings and structures, reimagining them as part of a cityscape landscape. The children experimented with layering, texture and colour to add depth and detail, showing increasing confidence in their artistic choices and ability to adapt ideas as their work progressed.![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_1937.jpeg) [Year 6](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-6) [Art and Design](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/art-and-design) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_1918.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-01-22-year-6-e-safety) Previous ### [Year 6 - E-Safety](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-01-22-year-6-e-safety) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_0086.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-01-26-reception-snail-and-the-whale-book-launch) Next ### [Reception: Snail and the Whale Book Launch ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-01-26-reception-snail-and-the-whale-book-launch) ### Personal Development - [News](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
