The Great Wave

Year 4 have created artworks in the style of Hokusai's "The Great Wave."

The students drew the wave with black markers, then used blue watercolour paints (Cool colours) to the water.

Next the students painted their sky, mountain and any boats using orange and brown watercolours (warm colours).

Finally, Year 4 used white acrylic paint to paint foam and sea spray.

As a challenge activity when finished, some students signed their name in Japanese in the top left corner.

They look absolutely fantastic! Well done Year 4!

K-6B love the beach!

Seascapes

3 Things Year 2 learnt while creating their seascapes:

1. What is a horizon?

A horizon is the line where the land or sea meets the sky. It is horizontal.

2. What is stippling?  

Small short touches (with paint or ink) that together produce an even or softly graded shadow.

3. How do you blend watercolours together?

Paint your paper with water first, then add the colour on top. Keep using water as you paint.
