Art

This term we have been painting during art and have used many different objects for motivation and as examples to paint.

We started with mixing colours from Red, Yellow, Blue,white and Black. We were allowed to experiment with mixing and making our own colours. Many people made grey and brown by mixing lots of colours but other made different tones of the same colour using black and white.



We then painted some flowers using contrasting colours and complementary colours. 

Next we painted pictures of Sunflowers and looked at Vincent Van Goghs picture of a vase of sunflowers.



We have just painted a collection of parrots after having seen some Red Crowned Parakeets at Lochmara Lodge in the Marlborough Sounds. We also watched some videos of people drawing parrots and painting them.
