This week we have been working very hard on our painting skills. We learned about the different parts of the paint brush (the toe, the ferrule and the handle). We then talked about Primary and Secondary colours and how they can be made. We then created our own colour wheels.
The next day we talked about how colours can represent mood; talking about warm colours and cool colours. We painted a sun and moon; deciding which colours would be most appropriate.
Today we have created a final piece of art to end our journey, learning about the Great Fire of London. The children talked about the warm colours representing the fire. We used a sponge to create an ombre effect for the background, making sure to dab to make it appear textured. The children then used their best cutting skills to cut out a design to represent the houses.
