In Art & Design, we have been exploring using watercolour paints with increasing control.

We learned how to hold and wash the paintbrush, mix different colours and blend watercolours.

We read an interesting article on the Northern Lights which were spotted across Scotland in January. This influenced these gorgeous landscape paintings.

Pupils were able to blend a variety of shades or colours with control, not going over the line. We used thin black pens to add details, ensuring the trees in the foreground were bigger than those in the background.

Since it’s also been so cold,  we created some bobble hats using the wax resistant technique. We had to ensure we used enough water in our paint to create an effective wash.

We are so proud of our beautiful artwork 🎨
