Term 2, Room 6 - 'The Mountains Around Us'

*Room 6!* - (Years 5/6)

Breathtaking artwork!

Room 6 were astonished by the calibre of art we completed with Mrs Manuyag. We knew we 
were good artists, but this was amazing! We started by discussing our key words -
perspectives, layers, and landscape. We then learned about the colour wheel, and how to
make colours pop! Then we blocked in our landscape, painted (which was harder than we 
thought!) and then outlined. 

Check it out!

So
WALT: draw layers of nature to show perspective.
WALT: use the colour wheel effectively.
WALT: plan our artwork to use space creatively.
WALT: use the colour wheel to choose colours for effect. 

Art Media: Sketching Pencils, Paint in Primary Colours, Black Paint, Paint Brushes, newspaper, 
palettes
Key words: Perspectives, Layers, and Landscape

These have now been displayed on the front wall in our school hall, and have already 
received rave reviews!
Reflection: 

• Our favourite part was looking at what we had completed at the end.
• The hardest part was the painting - it took ages to dry and was hard to stay in the lines. 

        We think we need more practice at this!

Term 2, Room 4 - Tigers in the Mist

*Room 4!*

Today, Room 4 came to the Art room for their Art Day!

Room 4 had been reading 'The Tiger Rising' by Kate DeCamillo with their teacher Ms Macfarlane and wanted to learn about how to create a piece of artwork using a tiger!

So
WALT: use a colour wheel to create perspective in our artwork. 
Art Media: Waterpaints, Oil Pastels, Sketching Pencils
Key words: Perspective, Distance, Colour-wheel

Here are some images of us sketching, painting, and creating our SPECTACULAR pieces of artwork!

Feel free to post your comments - I know that the Room 4 students would LOVE to hear your feedback :>


Reflection: 

• Our favourite part was learning about how to use watercolour paint.
• Next time, we would like to spend more time learning about how to sketch the different parts of the tiger.

Art Technology T1 (so far...)

For Art Technology this term, we are learning about perspectives. We have learned that perspectives can be shown by colour, size and height, lines of perspective, layers, and clarity. 

Here is our first piece of artwork. See how we use our five strategies to show perspective!
