Thank you Mrs Peacock, what an amazing opportunity for us! We learnt so much and are so proud of what we have done! We hope you enjoyed working with us!
Today is all about pulling it all together!
We have watched YouTube clips about how to use fan brushes to make our grass look as realistic as possible, and given each other feedback about parts that need some light and dark areas to make them look as three dimensional as possible. Mrs Scott came to visit, and she was super impressed with what we have done! Mrs Scott cannot wait until they are done so that we can have an art exhibition! Today was a great day! We spent the day in HB3. We started off by transferring our composition onto our artist canvases - this was so exciting! We then watched YouTube clips on how to use our paint brushes effectively, learnt how to colour block and blend from Mrs Peacock and started adding paint to our canvases. Our day was spent painting and we left at end of it feeling very proud, and super excited about what we had done. We can't wait for our final session on Friday!
On Monday 8th September the Enrichment Art Group embarked on an exciting trip. Our first stop was an art gallery where we got an insight into how artwork is displayed. We learnt the importance of white space and balanced displays. We then drove out to a lady's house in Springfield. She is a friend of Mrs Peacock and has an amazing deck with a stunning view of the Torlesse Range. We sat on her deck in the sun and sketched this amazing view. When then drove back to Springfield for a play in the doughnut playground, lunch and a visit to Mrs Peacock's gallery. We loved seeing her amazing paintings and left feeling very inspired. We then drove down to the river and did some more sketching. We took heaps of photos, but it was getting really cold, so we piled back into the cars, drove back to school and downloaded our photos to our google drives.
We finalised our compositions and left at the end of the day super excited about what was coming next! |
