Windy Wellington Day
Today was a special day in the art room, the youngest and newest students in the school had their very first art lesson. Emma’s new entrant class spent the day creating very cute winter weather inspired artworks.
To begin, the students created stormy sky backgrounds. They covered their paper in white paint and then twirled the paintbrush over the top with a little black paint to create swirling, stormy clouds. While they were creating their backgrounds I took photographs of the students while they posed as if they were being carried away by an umbrella in the Wellington wind.
The students watched this cute little video about colours and we discussed hot and cold colour schemes. The students drew umbrellas and coloured them in pastel with either a hot or cold colour scheme.
To finish the lesson we had a discussion about composition and then the students glued their pieces altogether. I’m really pleased with these artworks, as are the students. Taken look at the photos of the students holding their artworks, they are all incredibly chuffed with their creations.
