The Art teacher was working with us on Friday and showed us some nice techniques for watercolour. We had to remember background, middleground and foreground. The background was lighter colours, using a colour wash. The foreground is supposed to be stronger colour – we did this later with paint when the background was dry. We are hoping to use these techniques to do some art work in the style of Shaun Tan. We will post some pictures up soon of these!

We were outside in the school garden today to see how many colours we could find. Then we took bits of the colour and put them on our sticky tape to remind us of all the colours in the school grounds. Then we did six sketches of what we saw, we had to make the pictures either close up or far away. We are going to use all this information to make watercolour pictures in our classroom. 😀
Today P7 had a new art teacher in the class.We drew perspective drawings of houses .The new art teachers name is Miss Sharp.In this art session we learned how to use a vanishing point.
We were all pretty impressed with our pictures. They looked like they had been done by real artists! I wonder if anyone in this class will become a real artist in the future?
