Amazing Art

Please enjoy looking at our amazing artwork.  We are developing our skills in colour and tone to present our artwork.

We used the Little White House of Glencoe as a stimulus.

 

The skills we used included blending and we are getting better at drawing.  Siona I used oil pastels to make a scottish landscape.  I mixed colours together and also different shades of colour.  I put white lines and rubbed them out using my finger until it disappeared to make it lighter.  Using black, I shaded everything I needed black then dragged it to make it darker.  Joe
We learned how to shade and blend and how to write an imaginative story about the House of Glencoe.  Thalia

We were learning to blend, shade and got better at drawing.  Plus we we learned how to write an imaginative story using the same setting.  Looking at our drawing we already imagined us in that old glowing white house.  Sarah S

Beautiful Butterfly

When we returned school in Primary 5 we had some visitors – caterpillars!

It was sad setting them free but good because they were not 

kept in the butterfly pavillion.  OliIt was really fun holding the butterfly, they were so soft! DaisyI felt a bit emotional sending them away because I liked holding 

them but they flew away.  Millie 

I thought the butterfly was bleeding but it was just extra dye from the painted lady wings.  Oli

It was brilliant being able to see the lifecycle of a butterfly.

It was interesting how the patterns were made and they hatched from their cocoons,  how the colours came down and they were different.  We were able to hold them which was amazing!James
