In Art we have been learning about colour and mixing new colours. We learnt that adding white to colours made a lighter tint and adding dark made a darker shade. We learnt that tints are used to create happy, calm pictures and shades are used to create sad or unhappy pictures.

We mixed darker shades and then recreated Jackson Pollock drip paintings using these shades.

In Art, we created prints using wax crayons rubbed over textured materials. We collated our rubbings to make a composition.

In Art, Class 1 have begun their topic of printing. They learnt that applying different amounts of pressure creates different prints. We printed using our hands to create a background. We will then use this as the background for line drawings.
