Watercolours in Room 11
Room 11 have been learning about watercolours.
Our art last term was focused on drawing and using water colours and Indian Ink. The students learnt about the author/ illustrator Jackie Morris with Mrs Wilsher and created dragon drawings based on her book "Tell me a dragon." The students used water colours and outlined their dragons with Indian ink.
The students learnt about the artist Pablo Picasso and cubism art. They created self portraits based on his style and continued with watercolours and outlining their portraits in Indian ink.
The students enjoyed it. Check out their comments:
