Silberzweig Inspired Reef Fish

We looked at 'Sapphire Coral Fish' by Canadian artist Sandra Silberzweig, and talked about her use of bright colours, black outlines and pattern.

We created our own Reef Fish pictures using fluoro paint and oil pastel.
They are beautiful!

Smurfs 'n' Snails.... Viewfinder Movies in Soft Pastel

We used viewfinders to select individual compositions from promotional photos of the Smurfs 2 and Turbo movies, and finished with soft pastel.The tricky part was enlarging the viewfinder selection to fill our whole page!

Great art work everyone!!

How Much Can A Koala Bear?

After a guided drawing lesson to draw our koala, we used water colour pencil, being sure to use short broken lines drawn in the same direction that the fur grows, to create a furry look for our koalas.  We were also careful to leave patches of white fur on the chest and ears to create contrast.

We used the same broken line technique to apply colour to the background, referring to the colour wheel to select colours that we knew would blend well together. Finally we brushed over all our line work with fine brushes and clean water. We were careful to apply our brushwork in the same direction that we drew our lines to dissolve the colour into watercolour while retaining the line work.
