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!

ROBOTS

Year 5 have designed Robots in art as they have been building robotics in their ICT and Science lessons.

The students started by looking at artworks and illustrations of robots and observing how the artists made the images look 3D using shadow and highlights, as well as foreground and backgrounds.

Year 5 used a variety of materials including acrylic paint, watercolours and black markers.

Sun Showers

Kindergarten drew a horizon, rain drops, puddles and a rainbow. 

We looked at the 6 colours in the rainbow:

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple.

A blue wash was added on top using Edible food dye mixed with water.

Dali's moustache

Year 3 love Salvador Dali and his crazy artworks and mad moustache!

Year 3 created portraits of Dali with black pastels and used pipe cleaners for his moustache. They look brilliant! Well done Year 3!

Continuous Line Sculptures

Year 5 have extended their skills on continuous line drawing further by creating light bulbs using rainbow wire.

Rainbow wire is colourful, soft to bend and a great resources for art.

It was Year 5's first time using rainbow wire. 

At times, the students found the bending and twisting of the wire a challenge but having doing a warm up continuous line drawing at the beginning of the lesson definitely helped.

Despite the initial challenge, Year 5 did really well.
