Mixed Up Colour Bugs!

The Year 1’s made their own colours to create these gorgeous artworks. They mixed the Primary Colours to create orange, green, purple and brown. The background has texture made from wax crayon rubbings. Each bug shape has been made from lines including straight, curved, wavy, dotted, dashed and spiral.

Autumn Leaves!

The Year 3’s revised the warm and cool colour groups while creating these masterpieces.

By using oil pastels they were able to create a blended effect with the colours in their leaves. They chose several warm colours and overlapped each as they moved from the darkest to the lightest colour.

The backgrounds were slightly tricky as they had to continue a line behind their drawn leaf. Each background was created using a repeated pattern of cool colours.

Famous Portraits with a Twist!

The Year 6’s have used a portrait from a famous artist and created a reproduction of it. They drew the image and selected their own medium to add colour, as similar to the original as they could. They were asked to include a colour mix, tints and shades. They then created a puffy face, to slightly change the artwork, making it their own.
