George Seurat 🖼️ 👩‍🎨

Today we were artists and found out about the French post-impressionist artist Georges Seurat. 
Seurat used pointillism to create his artwork. After a gallery walk and a critique session we had a go at using the pointillist techniques. We decided that this was one of our favourite technique with the effects we created and critiqued our first piece. We then used the critique to create another draft.

Miss Burge also shared that she was a magnificent artist at school and drew her Dad using pointillism. We were blown away by her portrait. This inspired us to try even harder, to get smart.

Perfect Penguin Predictions 🐧📖✏️

To kickstart our new writing unit, based on the story Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers, for our experience lesson we discussed what we knew about penguins and predicted what the book would be about based on the front cover. We also watched an interesting video all about different types of penguins! Did you know there is a Fairy Penguin 🐧 that lives in Australia! 🇦🇺
