Students have been reviewing the Elements of Art as they create cover pages for their Visual Diaries.
Year 1 classes looked at colour and how the Primary Colours can be mixed to create the Secondary Colours. They also used line and shape when drawing their butterfly bodies.
Year 2 classes created the Secondary Colours by mixing each of the Primary Colour combinations. Line and shape will be used to create a patterned background and the letters of their names.
Year 3 classes revised the Warm and Cool Colours, using one group for the letters of their name (line and shape) and the other for their collage background.
Year 4 classes looked at implied texture, making the letters of their name look like they feel like something.. Each letter of their name used line, shape, value and/or colour to create a texture.
Year 5 classes created optical illusions with the letters of their name. Line, shape and colour help to create these fantastic illusions.
Year 6 classes mixed their own colours using only the Primary Colours and black and white to paint a mosaic effect in the letters of their name (line and shape). Possible colour schemes included - Secondary, Warm, Cool, Complementary, Analogous and Monochromatic.
