Elaine J has sent us a lovely painting activity for our blog, using wintry colours.\u00a0 I think I’ll be trying this one myself!<\/p>\n

Hi everyone, I hope that you are all well. I am really missing all the boys and girls that I usually see on Thursdays and Fridays in<\/em>
\n\u00a0Nursery! Following on from Eileen\u2019s activity to take a walk in the dark beforebedtime, I thought that you might like to create a picture\u00a0 the night sky.\u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There was a very famous artist called Van Gogh and this is one of his paintings\u00a0 called \u201cThe Starry Night\u201d \u2013 I wonder how we<\/em>
\n\u00a0could make a painting like this?<\/em><\/p>\n

I thought we could use different shades of blue and white and have fun swirling paint around foil which should give your painting a real winter feel.\u00a0 Just remember painting on foil is easy and fun but it can tear easily so we need to be gentle.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

What you will need:-<\/em>
\nNewspaper or plastic table cover.<\/em>
\nTin foil.<\/em>
\nBlue, white and yellow paint (You will need something to put the paint <\/em>on \u2013 I used a paper plate but you could use a lid or shallow tub.)<\/em>
\nCotton buds and\/or small brushes. (Cotton buds are good for <\/em>encouraging a lighter touch)<\/em>
\nCutting board\u00a0 \u00a0 (just wrap the foil around the board) or piece of card to attach foil to provide a solid surface to paint on.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0I started by attaching foil to some recycled card.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I put small amounts of paint onto my plate.<\/em><\/p>\n

I started to swirl some paint onto the foil. I mixed the white and blue paint to make a lighter shade of blue. I used yellow and white<\/em>
\npaint for the stars and moon and as my blue paint was still wet, it turned the yellow paint green !<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThis was my finished painting !\u00a0 If you make a painting of the night sky, then we would love to see a photo of it on the learning journals.<\/em>
\nTake care everyone !<\/em>
