This term, Year 5/6 are working on their painting skills through a number of creative activities. The last couple of sessions have been to explore how to use a mixing palette and mix appropriate colours for a sunset or sunrise picture. The children are only using primary colours plus black and white. They also learnt about blending colours using a dry brush or sponge.
Today we finished our paintings and added some paper cut outs to create a silhouette. The effect is very dramatic as you will see from the photos…
