Shape, Pattern & Colour

Our art this week focuses on shape, pattern and beautiful colour using watercolour on diffusing paper and permanent marker on acetate. 
Every one is a winner - simply stunning!

Angry Birds in the Midnight Forest

In our last lesson we finished our 3-dimensional clay Angry Bird sculptures. 

This week we have considered the same subject (our Angry Birds) in 2 dimensions. 

We started with a guided drawing, creating a stylized forest floor. We then worked upward to our horizon, midnight sky and full moon, using thin and thick black pen, before adding areas of light and shadow with 2B pencil and adding our Angry Birds, created with pen and soft pastel.

Finally, we went back and added more and more detail to our midnight forests.... groves of mushrooms, lichen, a variety of grasses, pebbles and fallen leaves. Many added timid little nocturnal animals, hiding from the angry bird!

This activity required patience and attention to detail, and everyone has done a magnificent job!

Some students are going to add even more detail to their pictures at home!

Flocks of Angry Birds

Fired and furious! We hope you enjoy our flocks of Angry Birds!
