Everyone welcome! # Year 1 Art: Can I find shapes and lines? ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/2FEB4EC8-C4EA-4158-B8C0-36272E5F4B5D.jpeg) 29 September 2026 Today, Year 1 had to try to find shapes and lines in their faces. They each had a picture of their face and had to trace over it as best as they could. This was a challenge for some as they had to make sure the paper didn’t move. After, they pulled the tracing paper off, they could spot the shapes in their faces. We noticed eyes are circles and ovals and our smile is like a semi-circle. However, most of our facial shapes are organic shapes, meaning they do not have a regular pattern to them, which is what makes us look unique. When we do our self-portraits in a few weeks, we need to include organic shapes to make the art more realistic.![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/2FEB4EC8-C4EA-4158-B8C0-36272E5F4B5D.jpeg) [Year 1](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [Art and Design](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/art-and-design) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_4945(1).jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-09-28-year-5-rotakids-elections) Previous ### [Year 5 - RotaKids Elections](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-09-28-year-5-rotakids-elections) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_3502.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-09-30-year-3-science-clean-coins-and-conclusions) Next ### [Year 3 - Science: Clean Coins and Conclusions](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-09-30-year-3-science-clean-coins-and-conclusions) ### 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/)
