We began with our drawing pencils and plain white cartridge paper.  Students followed the directed drawing lesson done on our white board. The results were remarkable:

Students then re-created their bats on tan coloured 12” x 18” construction paper.  They were instructed to ensure that they outlined their bats, coloured their pictures to show the bat’s fur, and make the bats the central point of the art piece.  Students worked with drawing pencils and waxed crayons. They could then add other Autumn pictures to complete their scenes as they wanted.  They were encouraged use their tertiary art techniques from last week’s lesson. These are on the bulletin board in our hallway:

I think they all look spectacular!

This was last week’s Art lesson.

After a review of Primary colours (red, blue, yellow), which cannot be made from other colours, Secondary colours (orange, green, and purple) which are made from equal amounts of the Primary colours, and Intermediate colours which are uneven amounts of the Primary colours (red-orange, yellow-green, etc.) we explored the making of Tertiary colours which is the making of new colours by mixing Secondary colours.

Students explored making russet (orange and violet), slate (green and violet), and bronze (orange and green) while creating an Autumn scene with waxed crayons.

We had loads of fun this afternoon colouring and cutting out a turkey template and then creating our own feathers out of construction paper!

They are very colourful 🌈
