Funky Bunnies Art

We have enjoyed experimenting with different art techniques to create amazing art work for our classroom this week.

First we used felt pens to draw flowers on  sugar paper. We explored different flower designs and tried out different colours to cover the paper.  We then used water and paint brushes to draw out the colour from the ink to create a water colour effect for the background.  
The finished results of our backgrounds looked really effective.

Next we drew zentagle patterns on our bunny templates and choose funky glasses to add to our pictures.

Our completed art work looks fantastic  and has brightened up our classroom and corridor. This has been a favourite activity this week.

Botanical Drawings 

We learned the definition of the word botany and then what botanical drawings are. We learned that botanical art is a kind of artwork featuring the form and details of plants.

In “Danny Champion of the World” by Roald Dahl, Danny’s dad loved nature and knew the names of all the plants and trees in the woods where they lived. He studied books about nature that contained detailed drawings of plants and trees.

We decided to be botanical artisits for the day. First we  gathered leaves, branches and flowers from the garden and studied them in class. We looked at shape and colour  and drew detailed illustrations of them.  Some of us used watercolours and some of us used pencil to add colour. 

Everyone was proud of the drawings that they created.
