Art and Design

September 12, 2016 User deactivated

Last week primary 4.2 were making scratch art pictures using oil pastels and black paint.

Time to check it over and cover any white paper sections.

They discussed in their groups what they had been learning about during the art lessons.

Chosen bright colours to achieve the best effect.

Golden Stars: ‘We used oil pastels to scratch art and cover it with black paint. We really enjoyed it, mostly painting it black.’ Matthew, Ella, James and Eva.

Painted completely black ready to scratch out the design.

Marvellous Marshmallows: ‘Last week we did scratch art and we really enjoyed it.’ Sarah McN, Reid, Lily, Jaime, Sarah L and Jack.

Multiplications monkeys: ‘We had fun doing scratch art. We used pastels to colour in the paper then we painted it back’. Anna McK, Scott, Millie, Heather, Daniel and Norah.

Maths Monkeys: ‘We have been making stick athletes and we have been doing scratch art with pastels and black paint we enjoyed it.’ Eloise, Felix, Erin and Callum.

It was very important to cover the whole page with the coloured pastels before painting black to ensure the brightest effect when the picture was scratched out. Lots of detail was paid to this.

‘I have been smudging the pastels to get no white bits’. Eloise.

I feel very lucky to be spending the year with them and feel confident we will learn a lot together during this exciting journey. Miss Lowson

We have set up an investigation to find out what plants really need to grow.

Each group had a control and changed only one thing.

Group 1 changed the soil, group 2 changed the size of the container, group 3 changed the water and group 4 changed the light.

We are looking forward to finding out the results next week. 🙂
