Shape pumpkins and pointillism!

This week we have been learning more about the technique “pointillism”. We remember that pointillism is when you can use the point of your finger to paint with. This week we used this technique to make some spooky bats! Here are some pictures:

First, we had to get our apron on (Isla)
Next, we got a bat stencil (Kyle)
Then, we put one finger at a time into the paint so that we didn’t mix the colours (Lily)
Next, we had to use the pointillism technique to paint around the bat stencil (Orlaith)
Finally, we washed our hands and put our pictures on the drying rack (Teigan)

We also made some fantastic shape pumpkins with our buddies! Here are some pictures:

First, we were given a bit of orange paper and black paper (Scott)
Then, we drew a pumpkin shape on the orange paper and cut it out (Lois)
Next, we cut out shapes from the black paper and used glue to stick them on the pumpkin (Ehan)
Finally, we counted what shapes you had used and wrote it on the back of our pumpkins (Luis)

We have been learning during Assembly this week to be safe if we are going out Trick or Treating this weekend. Have a lovely weekend and a Happy Halloween!

  1. Your paintings are fantastic – pointillism is a beautiful technique and how brilliant that you can use your fingers to do it! Keep safe and have fun this weekend.
