Our Learning

Art

4 Comments

last week with Mrs Smith we made sheep pictures for art. We had to use different types of materials.

For the sky we used blue paint and added water to make it runny .

For the grass we had a piece of card and wrapped wool around it and then dipped it in green paint and dabbed it on to the paper to give a grass effect.

We then drew clouds on a seperate piece of paper then cut them out and put in water till wet it was then laid on to the picture for a while and then removed it. Then put the final details on.
