In art we have started our new topic on Printing. The children at home picked up an art pack with a variety of resources so they could still access this subject. Our first lesson looked at positive and negative spaces. We watched some different video clips then made our own image. In class we looked at apples, pears, hearts, butterflies, dragonflies. All the children chose to make a heart and they make a fabulous display! Well done to Lily, Jacub, Musa and Awesome who tried this at home, you did a fabulous job!

We then looked at positive and negative spaces to print patterns. Have a look at the images below and see if you can make your own prints. The children worked really hard in class making their stencils and the final results look really effective.

Colour Wheel Project

We started our project by looking at the 3 primary colours and how to create secondary colours on a colour wheel. We watched a video showing us how to make a simple colour wheel the we looked at different ways to use the wheel – as an umbrella, eye or turtle, and the children completed their own.

We then looked at complementary colours on a colour wheel and designed our pictures using just 2 colours. The children in school also used their understanding of the colour wheel from last week to mix their own colours.

We finished our colour wheel project by looking at warm and cool colours. We then chose 2, mixed them together, added a design and created a monoprint.
