Art Technology - T1, Lesson One!

Today for Art Technology we were experimenting with water colour paints. First, we used dots of paint, some water and our paintbrushes to experiment with different lines, swirls, designs and patterns. 



After having an experiment, we reflected on what we had learned about using watercolour paints. 

  • Don't let the paint dry!
  • Yellow blends well with other colours
  • Don't put too much water on
  • Blending the colours makes it look more real
  • My favourite colours were the maroon, and yellow water colours
  • If you twist the paintbrush, it soaks up the water
  • The paint dries fast
  • Blending colours is very fun
  • Using different techniques makes different styles
After our reflection, we went onto our piece of artwork. 
  1. Creating perspective with hills (sketching)
  2. Creating perspective with trees (sketching)
  3. Adding shades of green and yellow with water to create different shades of green (light to dark)

  4. Adding shade of brown (with accents of yellow and black) to trees to add realism.
  5. Adding sky - reds, oranges.
We then reflected on what parts of our artwork we liked, and which parts we need to practice.

Look at some of our amazing work!

  13. Hello Art Tecnology Group,

    Your drawing is stunning, I really like the way you chose the colours. Even I like to do some painting but I haven't done water painting.I think it's fun, because I can see from you. I am looking forward to see more painting from you.

    I think you all did a great job,
    Keep it up!

    Your Sincerely,

  14. Hello Art Technology Group,

    Your art is really AMAZING. I really like why you guys put in that yellow blends in with great colours. I even like painting but you guys are better art skills then. I can see that water painting is great for blending in with other colour.

    Keep up the great art.

    You Sincerely,
    Jane (Panmure Bridge School LS2)
