This week Year One have thoroughly enjoyed being artists in the classroom.
They have practised drawing a variety of lines, using marker pens – straight, wriggly, curved and zig zag and then transferred these skills to painting different lines. We discovered that it was more difficult to paint lines than draw lines. Next the pupils have learnt how to mix the three primary colours to make the three secondary colours. We carried out an investigation to make different shades of orange, green and purple. We learnt that colour mixing is not an exact science and our purple turned out to be a muddy brown. We coloured in figures using our new secondary colours. Next week we are using our painted figures to create a piece of art work in the style of Keith Haring.
