In Art are learning how to apply line and colour. We are also practising how to cut more intricate designs to improve our fine motor skills. In Social Studies we are learning how to retell the story of a place of local historical interest.  To combine both of these areas of learning we took time to study and examine some famous Scottish Castles. We identified key features of castles in Scotland including turrets, flags and stone steps 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. We then applied water coloured paint to create a powerful Scottish sunset sky. We learned how to blend the colours to make a smooth overall finish.  We next drew and cut out castle silhouettes and arranged it against the background. We learned that a silhouette is a black outline created by the light being behind it as opposed to shining on to it. Don’t you think they look amazing?! 🎨🖌✂️
