Today in Crew MW, we started our Christmas artwork! The skill we are focussing on is colour mixing..We had lots of fun using our hands to print into one colour, our partner then printed in the second colour and then we mixed our hands together to see what colour the mixed colours made. We found out that blue and red make purple, yellow and red makes orange, and blue and yellow makes green! 🎨
Today we continued our art slice by consolidating our sketching techniques. We experimented with different pencils and tone then practised some different sketching techniques like hatching and cross hatching. We then applied the techniques we had practised to a drawing. This drawing was a Christmas tree and one we will be using in our final piece for our calendar.
Today we started our Christmas art slice. We started by thinking about the types of paint that can be used in art. We then thought about when we use each type and we explored a range of pictures. We thought about the look the paint gives, the colours that are used along with the techniques. We also offered our own critique based on the pictures. We were then introduced to the artist we will study for this art slice- Vincent Van Gogh. We watched a clip and built background knowledge before creating a class anchor chart. We then looked at a variety of Vincent’s work thinking about what we can see, how the art makes us feel, the techniques that have been used and we thought about what Vincent was trying to express. Our exit ticket allowed us to find different people in the room, voicing facts about Vincent.
Our second lesson allowed us to explore and experiment with different acrylic techniques. We watched a clip to help guide us through the techniques then we thought about Vincent’s art work and the techniques he used. We evaluated each technique thinking about which were reasonably straight forward and which proved a little more difficult. Finally our exit ticket allowed us to offer critique for improvement to others.
Now that our diva lamps have fully dried, we have finally been able to paint and decorate them! They all look so beautiful! ✨
We have been studying about David Hockney this week and have created our own Hockney style photography artwork. I have loved seeing the final pieces!
Today we started to join our photo frame together 🙂
Some very proud children in MI today 🙂
Today we started to think about the art work that will be part of our photo frames for our final product. We looked at and discussed a picture that we will be using as a stimulus then we gave some critique to Mrs McClare based on her model. We had a go at drawing the outline on our picture before using oil pastels to create our patterns. We really enjoyed starting this piece of work and everyone is eager to do more!
We were all excited to get stuck into case study 3, our design and technology case study!
